Flowers, birds, grass and insects, who painted in the world, used to love them. Bees are artists' pets, but I don't like them very much. Funnily enough, when I was a child, I once went up a tree to pick begonia flowers. I didn't want to be stung by bees, so I almost fell down. Adults told me that bees don't sting easily, and they must have stung because they thought you wanted to hurt them. Once you are stung, your life will run out and you won't live long. I felt sorry for the bee and forgave it. But since then, whenever I see bees, my mood is very bumpy and always uncomfortable.
In April this year, I went to Conghua Hot Spring in Guangdong for a few days. Surrounded by mountains, surrounded by a pool of spring water. The thick green scenery is simply a green landscape painting. It was a cloudy night when I first went, and I occasionally looked at the window. It's strange why so many black hills appear out of thin air in front of the building, one heavy and one heavy, constantly fluctuating. Remember that there is a garden in front of the building, not a mountain. What kind of illusion is this? At dawn, I couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be litchi trees all over the mountains, one after another. The leaves of each tree are dense and look like mountains at night!
Litchi is perhaps the freshest and most beautiful fruit in the world. Su Dongpo wrote such a poem: "There are 300 lychees a day, so you don't hesitate to be a Lingnan person." This shows the beauty of litchi. It happened that I came at a bad time. Litchi has just blossomed. The tree is full of pale yellow flowers, which is not outstanding. New tender leaves, reddish, look better than flowers. It takes about three months from flowering to fruit ripening. It seems that I can't wait to eat fresh litchi here. It is time to eat fresh litchi honey. Some people may not have heard of this rare thing, right? There are as many litchi trees in Conghua as the sea in Wang Yang. In the flowering season, bees are buzzing all over the place, so busy that they forget the morning and evening. Litchi honey is characterized by pure color and rich nutrition. Most people who live in hot springs like to eat this honey to nourish their bodies. Enthusiastic comrades gave me two bottles. When the cork is opened, it is so sweet; After drinking it for half a cup, the sweetness has a refreshing taste, a little fresh of litchi. Drinking such good honey will make you feel that life is sweet.
I don't feel moved. I want to see the bees that I have never liked very much.
Deep in the litchi forest, there is a corner of a white house, which is the beekeeping farm of Wenquan commune, but it has an interesting name, called "Beekeeping Building". As soon as you get close to the "building", you will see swarms of bees coming in and out and flying around. The noise will make you think that perhaps bees are scrambling to build a new life.
The beekeeper Lao Liang led me into the building. Calling him Lao Liang is actually a young man, and his movements are quite stable. Maybe Lao Liang wants me to go deep into the life of bees. He carefully opened a wooden beehive with a row of wooden boards in the middle, which were full of crawling bees. The queen bee is dark brown and very long. Every worker bee is willing to feed it with its own royal jelly.
Old Liang whispered admiringly, "Look at these little things, how obedient they are!"
I asked, "How much honey can such a swarm of bees collect a year?"
Lao Liang said: "You can cut dozens of pounds. Bees like to work. Guangdong has fine weather and many flowers, and bees are not idle all year round. There is a lot of honey brewed, but you can only eat it yourself. Every time you cut honey, leave a little, just enough for them to eat. They never quarrel and don't care about anything. They continue to work and brew honey. They work hard all day and all month ... "
I asked again, "Aren't you afraid that something will spoil such a good baby?"
Lao Liang said, "Why not? You have to be careful of bugs and bumblebees crawling in. Bumblebee, thief, the worst. He often falls at the hole of the hive and specializes in bad things. "
I couldn't help laughing: "Oh! There are invaders in nature. How to deal with bumblebees? "
Lao Liang said, "Hurry! If you can't get rid of it, kill it. If you leave it there, it will kill the bees. "
I thought of a question and asked, "How long can bees live?"
Lao Liang said: "The queen bee can live for three years, and the worker bee can live for half a year at most."
I can't help shivering: what a lovely elf! I don't want anything from people, but I give them good things. Bees are brewing honey and life; Brewing the sweetest life is not for yourself, but for mankind. Bees are small, but how noble bees are!
Through the litchi forest, I looked at the fields in the distance, where farmers were standing in the paddy fields, trying to separate the seedlings and transplant them. They are building their own lives with labor, and they are actually brewing honey-for themselves, for others and for future generations.
That night, I had a strange dream that I became a little bee.
