Ye Xiaochen used his Psychic Communication talent to follow the direction of the bee as it flew up the mountain.
Fortunately, the bee returned from time to time. Otherwise, it would not be easy to track the bee.
This was also the difficulty of bee hunting.
Even the most experienced bee hunter would often return empty-handed.
Bee hunters would usually place bee-baiting buckets at certain locations to lure the bees to settle down.
Ye Xiaochen had the Psychic Communication talent, but he did not have this problem. Finding bees became easier.
Along the way, he looked at the surrounding scenery and followed the little bee. About ten minutes later, at a place not far from the quarry, the little bee suddenly hovered in the air.
Ye Xiaochen knew that the beehive was nearby.
After flying a few rounds, the bee suddenly flew towards a big tree next to a pile of rocks on the right.
Ye Xiaochen quickly followed and saw the bee land on a withered branch. Then, it crawled along the branch into the gap between the exposed roots and the rocks.
"I'm going to faint. Why is it in this position?"
Ye Xiaochen was a little annoyed.
It was very troublesome to get bees out of this place.
Rocks, tree roots, they were all obstacles!
If he really wanted to dig it out, it would be a huge project.
"Right, don't I have the Immortal Hoe? With the Immortal Hoe, these rocks and roots are nothing."
Ye Xiaochen suddenly remembered that he had a Divine Weapon.
He immediately took out the Immortal Hoe from his storage space and started digging.
In order not to hurt the beehive, he dug very carefully and started cleaning from the side.
No matter how hard a rock was, it was not much harder than tofu in front of the Immortal Hoe. The roots were even less of a problem.
Piece by piece, the rocks were dug out and the roots were cleaned.
He worked for more than half an hour.
Finally, the beehive gradually appeared in Ye Xiaochen's field of vision.
If not for the Immortal Hoe being too heavy, he would not have needed to use it for so long.
Ye Xiaochen hung the bamboo hat he had prepared above the beehive. Then, he used a dried dog's tail grass to gently drive the bees away from below.
Buzz buzz buzz …
Many bees flew up and gathered in the bamboo hat.
The beehive inside the bamboo hat grew larger and larger, and the number of bees in the beehive decreased.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaochen's sharp eyes saw a bee that was much bigger than a normal bee in the hive.
Queen Bee!
Ye Xiaochen's eyes lit up, and she gently reached out her hand.
At the same time, his spiritual communication talent was displayed.
Normally, catching a Wasp King bare-handed was a technical job, and it was very easy to be attacked by the Wasp Swarm.
He had the Spiritual Communication Talent and could greatly reduce the hostility of the bee swarm.
When his hand gently touched the Queen Bee, he immediately sensed the existence of the Queen Bee's consciousness.
When he gently caught the Queen Bee and placed it in his palm, the Queen Bee did not struggle much.
When the Queen Bee was placed into the prepared beehive, Ye Xiaochen heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this swarm of bees could not escape.
He picked up the bamboo hat and shook the bees inside into the beehive.
Ye Xiaochen closed the lid and opened the hive door, dispersing the remaining bees in the original hive.
This way, the bees would not continue to return to the hive. Instead, they would follow the scent of the Queen Bee and enter the hive through the door.
After all the bees were dispersed, the hive was completely exposed to Ye Xiaochen's vision.
There was still plenty of honey.
After all, it was almost autumn, and the bees would definitely need to prepare food for the winter.
He used a fruit knife to cut off pieces of honeycomb and put them into a clean plastic bag.
When he returned home, it was already past four in the afternoon.
He first dealt with the honeycomb and cut off the honeycomb with honey. As for the rest, he would use it as a honeycomb and put it into the beehive.
As the honey needed had to be very pure, he used a static method. The honey in the honeycomb would automatically flow out and settle down.
This would ensure that there would not be too many impurities in the honey.
Not to mention the static honeycomb, Ye Xiaochen settled down the bees that he had collected this time.
He had planted so many vegetables on his farm, and it just so happened that he needed bees. Moreover, these vegetables were all high-quality vegetables, so the honey that was brewed from the pollen would definitely be extraordinary.
This way, he could continuously provide the pollinating bees with the honey they needed.
Just this group of bees would definitely not be able to satisfy the pollinating bees' needs.
The honey that was obtained after the static honeycomb had to be purified by special means. In the end, the amount of pure honey that could be obtained would not be too much.
He prepared to collect a few more groups of bees during this period.
For the next few days, Ye Xiaochen spent a lot of time looking for bees.
The results were not bad.
He had collected a total of five groups of bees.
In the meantime, he had taken care of a few orders from the online shop.
Perhaps the reputation of the pickled cabbage had gradually spread from the customers, and now the online shop's business was gradually improving. There would be a few orders every day.
There were not many orders, but the price was high.
One order was more than four hundred yuan, and the online shop's daily income was one to two thousand yuan.
This was pure profit, and there was not much cost. After all, the raw materials were his, and it did not take much effort to make the pickled cabbage.
In this way, with just the income from the pickled cabbage, it would not be a problem to earn forty to fifty thousand yuan a month.
On the farm.
Five beehives were placed in a row in the shed.
From time to time, bees would fly in and out, and it was very busy.
The honey that had been obtained from the static honeycomb had accumulated about three kilograms.
At this moment, in the tin house.
Ye Xiaochen was purifying the honey.
Under normal circumstances, the honey could not be purified at all. At most, the impurities could be reduced.
But for Ye Xiaochen, it was not difficult.
In the boiler, there was all the light yellow honey. It looked very clear, and there was a faint fragrance coming out of it.
Below, the gas had been ignited. The blue flame burned at the bottom of the boiler, causing the texture on the surface to light up.
The honey had become warm.
The temperature of the honey could not exceed fifty degrees. Otherwise, the nutrients would be destroyed.
Ye Xiaochen controlled the temperature of the honey and kept it warm.
He took out a glass bottle and poured out a white powder from it. He weighed it to the precision of milligrams.
He poured the white powder directly into the honey in the boiler, and then stirred it with a spoon.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the color of the honey became much lighter. Moreover, there was a thick, milky white liquid at the bottom.
After a while, when the color of the honey had completely faded, it looked like a light yellow liquid.
There was no sticky feeling of honey at all.
Instead, there was a layer of milky white liquid on the spoon. It was like glue, and it was pulled into a long silk thread. It did not break.
When Ye Xiaochen saw this, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Soon, he separated the milky white liquid in the boiler from the light yellow liquid on the upper layer.
After the milky white liquid left the water, it quickly turned into milky white crystals, like rock candy.
Ye Xiaochen weighed these milky white crystals. There was a total of more than 140 grams.
"It's really not easy."
When Ye Xiaochen saw this little bit of purified honey, he was very emotional.
It was not easy to feed the pollinating bees!
This purified honey was only one of the ingredients to make the pollinating bees' food.
Next, he had to prepare the real pollinating bee food.
The other ingredients had been prepared long ago.
After cleaning the insides of the boiler, he began to concoct it.
