On the purple-brown beehive, tiny bees were crawling around quickly.
"Oh right, because this bee is too small, I didn't show you what it looks like…
Wait, let me take a close-up."
Suddenly thinking of this, Lu Chen adjusted the position of the drone and aimed it at the hive.
One tiny bee after another carried yellow pollen all over their legs as they diligently walked through the hive.
？Brother Lu, are you sure this is a bee? How can there be such a small bee
These bees aren't even as big as the mosquitoes in my house…
But if you look closely, this bee is so cute. Its big eyes are sparkling.
"These are indeed bees. You can tell by looking at their legs. If they weren't, they wouldn't have brought pollen back to make honey.”
Lu Chen pointed at the little bee that was crawling quickly.
"But this kind of bee is different from the ordinary bees that we usually see. This kind of bee is called the Stingless Bee.
As its name suggested, bees didn't have poisonous stingers like other bees. These stingless bees wouldn't sting people.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen gently placed his hand on the beehive.
Sensing the arrival of the "intruder", the little Stingless Bees anxiously climbed onto Lu Chen's hand and crawled back and forth, but they could not do anything to him.
"Look, even if your hands are crawling all over, you won't be stung.”
Lu Chen even deliberately waved his hand that was covered in Stingless Bees at the camera.
But Brother Lu, I have a question. Isn't the bee's sting a weapon to protect the hive from invading? If these Stingless Bees didn't have any stingers, wouldn't they be unable to protect their nest?
That's right. There are also many animals in the wild who like to eat honey, right? Wouldn't they be giving away the honey they had brewed?
"Good question."
Lu Chen smiled.
"It's indeed as you said. These Stingless Bees don't have stinger, which is equivalent to not having the ability to protect their nest.
But think about it, how long did it take us to find them?”
Everyone was stunned.
"We rushed over from the mountain eggplant and chased after the small Stingless Bees. It took us quite a long time, right?
If it were other animals, do you think the Stingless Bee, which is about the size of a mosquito bite, would attract the attention of the animals?”
However, Xiang Miyu discovered it, and it was Xiang Miyu who brought you here!
"That's because of this."
Lu Chen dodged to the side and zoomed in on the drone's camera, aiming at a piece of bark under the beehive.
The dark bark seemed to have been soaked by something, forming an inconspicuous water-like mark that snaked all the way to the ground.
"Because Stingless Bees are small in size, the beehives they build are also small and delicate. Compared to the beehives built by ordinary bees, the load bearing capacity is slightly lower.”
Lu Chen reached out and patted the tree bark.
"As you can see, these Stingless Bees have stacked many layers of beehives in this hollow old tree. In other words, they have lived here for many years.
The beehives on the upper layer continued to invade the beehives on the lower layer, causing the beehives at the bottom to be crushed and the honey to flow out. That was why it attracted the attention of the honey bees.
Generally speaking, they were so small and hid in inconspicuous tree holes and caves. Even honey hunters like the Sound Honey Pheasant would find it difficult to find them.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen took out a few larger sealed bags and began to cut the honey.
"However, once exposed, it means that the invaders will arrive very soon.
Even if I don't harvest the honey, other animals will come and eat it.”
If all the beehives were taken, wouldn't these Stingless Bees have no home?
"There's nothing to worry about. Stingless Bees are very social. Even if the hive is gone, they won't disperse. Instead, they will move together and find a new place to live.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the first beehive was carefully cut off by Lu Chen.
Needless to say, this Stingless Bee Nest looked small, but it was heavy in his hand. One could imagine how much honey was stored inside.
No wonder the lower level of the beehive was crushed.
Purple-red honey poured down from the broken part of the beehive, forming a sticky and shiny waterfall.
Lu Chen quickly used a bag to catch it, but there was still a lot of honey on his hands.
Good heavens, this honey looks delicious!
Purple-red! This honey is purple-red! So beautiful! He had never seen honey of this color before!
Such thick honey. Compared to the host's honey, it felt like all the honey she ate before was water honey…
"Because the honey has been stored for a long time, the water in the honey has evaporated, so the honey is sticky.”
Lu Chen smiled and explained,
"The honey that we usually eat is the honey that beekeepers cut very quickly in pursuit of production. The water content is naturally higher.”
The thornless honey that was accidentally poured on Lu Chen's hand emitted a strange fragrance, causing the honey bird beside him to stomp its feet in hunger. Lu Chen himself could feel his saliva secreting crazily.
Just as he was about to lick his hands and have a taste, two nimble figures, one black and one white, took the lead.
The two sisters had woken up at some point and slithered along Lu Chen's arm to his wrist.
Looking at the honey in Lu Chen's hand, the small white flash python approached and sniffed it. Then, it quickly licked it with its tongue!
？？？
I haven't even eaten yet, and you two are already eating?？
