Alpine pasture

Chapter 499 The bee has settled down

The G650 parked steadily on the tarmac of Kingman Airport. Juan carried the small bag and walked to the hatch, waiting to get off the plane. Rand on the ground was already waiting outside in his car, waiting for Serena Opening the door of the cabin, a wave of heat rushed towards the face immediately, almost causing Ju An's head to shrink back. It's so fucking hot, Ju An muttered something in his heart, and bravely got out of the cabin.

After getting off the plane, I followed Rand to say hello in two steps and ran into the big pickup. The brand-new pickup Ford Ranch King was even better than the one I used at home. The area of ​​Hans Ranch is too large and needs to be towed. There are too many things, especially in winter, batches of forage will be transported from the River River Ranch in Montana, so I bought a few high-powered Ford 650s and sat in the cab to see them in peace. Look at the shiny chrome-plated F650 number next to it, and then think that my buddy’s handset is also 650. Is it true that Lao Mei has a soft spot for the number 650, just like we like 8?
Before he had time to think about it, Rand got into the driver's seat.This F650 is said to be a four-seater cab. In fact, it is very uncomfortable to sit in the back seat.Now Ju An is sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and his line of sight is estimated to be at least two meters above the ground, which is much better than his own GMC.

After waiting for Rand to drive for a while, Ju An felt that the car was enjoyable to drive. The rumbling sound of the rumbling 6.7L V8 engine was really exciting. After waiting for Rand to drive for more than ten minutes, Ju An felt Unable to bear it anymore, he asked Rand to park the car on the side of the road and let him drive it.Along the way, he happily drove to the side of the ranch building, and Ju An decided to order a modified version of the Ranch King. This car is too powerful.

From Montague, where the climate is more than [-] degrees hottest, to Hans Ranch, which is about [-] degrees Celsius, Juan is of course a little uncomfortable. After entering the dormitory, put down the bag, and immediately turned on the air conditioner, waiting for the temperature in the house to cool down. Then I stood up from the bed, stretched my head and looked outside through the window. From time to time, cowboys rode horses and walked in the sun, chatting and laughing from time to time while walking, which made Ju An feel separated I am ashamed outside, and I am too embarrassed to turn on the air conditioner in the dormitory.

Looking around, there was already a tall cowhide riding boot on the side of the door, and two cowboy hats with wide brims hung on the wall. Next to the hat was a large cowhide kettle. It seemed that Rand had already made preparations. , everything was prepared for the boss Ju An, Ju An took down the big cowhide kettle, got some water from the space of green wax gourd, filled the kettle full, and then touched the white water on the wall. With his cowboy hat stuck on his head, he put on riding boots, turned off the air conditioner and walked into the heat.

Walking out of the house, I immediately asked for a fresh fragrance, which penetrated into my lungs with a faint and very refreshing taste, which immediately lifted my spirits. Looking around, the flowers on the pasture seemed to be more beautiful. The faint fragrance that can only be smelled by getting close is much stronger now.

When I walked to the stable, I happened to meet Rand who was preparing the horse. Seeing Ju An approaching, Rand said with a smile: "Boss! I thought you were going to take a rest. Many people who just came here were not very good at first. I can adapt. The summer here is hot at noon, but the temperature is very low at night. After adapting, it will be much better. Our ranch is three or four degrees lower than downtown Kingman."

Ju An said with a smile: "It's okay! Seeing you are all busy, why am I squatting alone in the air-conditioned room? By the way, where are the two professors Leonard and Jennifer?".

Rand pointed to the distance with his hand: "Professor Leonard should be on the southwest side of the pasture. These days, he is working hard to expand the pasture there. It's hard to say for Professor Jennifer, seven or eight cows are possible." , Otherwise, let me take you to see the bees we got, these guys are really good at producing honey, they have expanded several bee colonies, and now the ranch also employs a beekeeper."

"That's good! Let's go and see the bees first." Ju An nodded and said, turning to look at the stables, ready to choose a horse.

Rand pointed to several compartments and said to Ju'an, "Maybe it's the same brown horse you rode last time."

Following Rand's direction, Ju An saw the brown quarter horse he was riding last time at a glance: "That's fine, it's just him."After speaking, he walked towards the horse, and at a distance of two or three meters, the brown horse held its head up and neighed. Ju An walked over quickly and stroked the horse's head: "You saw me!" Ah, you have a really good memory."After speaking, he put the horse on the water rein and led it out of the stable, put on the saddle and followed Rand out of the stable side by side.

I rode a horse and trotted for about 10 minutes. I met two groups of cows along the way. The mature cows seem to enjoy the sunshine, eating grass leisurely, riding a horse against the slight mountain breeze, waiting After sweating all over his body and being blown by the wind like this, he felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Pulling the clothes on his body, he asked Rand next to him, "How long will it take to get to the bees?".After speaking, he picked up the water bag hanging on the side of the horse and took a sip.

Rand looked at the sweat on Ju An's head and said with a smile, "It's over there, just a few steps away."

Ju An looked up, but saw nothing. He took a sip of space water and felt much more comfortable. He followed Rand on his horse and continued to run. Rand's few steps were really not close, and the speed of the horse increased. I got up and ran for more than five minutes before I saw a small domestic bomber squatting on the flowers and picking honey.

Getting closer and closer to the beehive, even Juan and Rand landed two small bombers on their shoulders. Juan didn't care, this Rand also looked calm, and asked Rand: "Are we here?" Don't you put a protective net on it?"

Rand shook his head: "No, although this kind of bee looks scary, but it has a very good temper, and it is generally not easy to explode."After speaking, he stretched his finger to the side of the bee on the shoulder, and let the bee climb up the finger along the finger, and then the finger was too high, and the domestic small bomber flew away.

Hey!Dude, it’s not about worrying about yourself, okay, the Black Mamba doesn’t even attack you, I’m just worried about you, forget it, since you’re not afraid, that’s fine, Ju An secretly said, and continued to gallop along with Rand.

When he arrived at the place, Ju An found that seven or eight beehives were placed under several big trees, and a beekeeper was sleeping on a deck chair under a tree. Maybe he slept so comfortably that even the horseshoe No sound woke the man up.

Rand smiled at Ju An and said, "It's really nothing for him to take care of a few boxes of bees."

Seeing that Rand wanted to continue explaining, Ju An waved his hands and said with a smile, "Do your own thing well and let him go."I can do the things at hand well, and leave the rest alone. This is also the truth I realized when I was working for others. When the things at hand are all good, why do you want to restrict what others must do, and do whatever you want? Is it all right?Why make going to work feel like going to jail.

After getting off the horse, he lifted the lid of a beehive, and saw densely packed small domestic bombers crawling inside. However, these bees are big, and the distance between the partitions is also large and much thicker. More than half of the artificial hexagonal grid has been sealed by bees.

After Ju An finished reading, he put the hive partitions back and closed the lid. At this time, the beekeeper woke up, stood up and walked to the side of Ju An and Rand. Rand introduced to the beekeeper Said: "This is the boss, Ann, BOSS! This is our beekeeper Steve".

After shaking hands with the beekeeper, Ju An asked, "These bees are breeding well enough, and now there are seven or eight nests."

Steve didn't sleep at all and realized that he was caught by the boss. He smiled and explained to Ju An: "The honey production of this nest of bees is twice that of ordinary bees. Now there are only a few beehives. At this speed, we will arrive at There should be fifty or sixty nests next year, and the honey production will be considerable by then, but unfortunately, the nest of bees on the other side of the mountain will not be sold to us.”

"Over the mountain?" Ju An asked in a daze.

Rand nodded and said: "Yes, a beekeeper on the other side of the mountain also got a colony of this kind of bees. Leonard heard about it and wanted to buy it. Someone who is an old beekeeper found out that this bee produces a lot of honey. There is a lot of honey, and the quality of honey is good, and they don’t say anything and sell it to the pasture. Later, it spread, and many nearby beekeepers set up beehives to catch bees on the mountain. Only a few people caught bees, and the rest were nothing. nothing".

Ju An nodded after listening, never underestimate the power of money, the reputation of this bee has gone out, it may not take long, the bees released by my buddies will be seduced back by these beekeepers with beehives, but this is fine , buddy ranch is also not conspicuous.He said with regret: "If we buy all the bees in their hands, we will have an exclusive deal!".

Steve smiled and explained: "Their bees are the same as ours, but the flowers are different. The quality of the honey produced by the flowers in the pasture is much better than theirs. The quality of their honey is slightly higher than that of European bees. That’s all. Some people even wanted to put bees on our pasture, but Rand directly refused.”While talking happily, Steve pinched a height with his thumb and index finger, indicating that the honey produced by other people is a little higher than the honey produced by European bees. Juan looked at the distance between the two fingers and estimated that it could only place a coin flat of.

"Good job!" Ju An patted Rand on the shoulder: "Don't talk about the flowers and plants on the ground, even if the gold mines found underground are all pastures, don't even think about it."

Rand and Steve laughed and nodded in agreement.Steve then said to Ju An: "After two days when my newly designed beehive arrives, the conditions of these cuties will improve a lot."Then he began to gesture to the beehive he designed.

This guy Ju An finished gesticulating, and only then did he realize that this is not a beehive. It is simply a big wardrobe, more than two meters high, with two doors, what is it if it is not a wardrobe!
