Chapter 24: Harnessing the Swarm
It is difficult to find a place suitable for beekeeping, especially a place suitable for raising bumblebees.

You know what, Zhang Chen really found a place. There was a dry area on the top of the cave, and that place was extremely narrow and ordinary people could not reach it at all.

The most important thing is that the place is very suitable for bumblebees to build nests.

“But how can I find nectar to lure the bumblebees to build nests here?” Countless thoughts raced through Zhang Chen’s mind. Nectar is a rare and precious commodity, and ordinary people don’t even have the chance to see honey.

"Perhaps there is another way. That is to find a flower bush with many bees, and then order the bees to collect honey for me for an hour. As long as I collect honey for an hour every day, I can collect enough honey in a few days to use as bait to lure the bumblebees to rebuild the hive." Zhang Chen thought of this and stopped making gunpowder, but wandered in the mountains.

Bumblebees are very domineering and are the natural enemy of honeybees. It is impossible to find a beehive within ten miles of where the bumblebees are.

Zhang Chen could only continue to walk deeper into the mountains. Now there were primeval forests between the mountains. There were no more paths in the mountains. It was a place where few people went. If it were not for the protection of gunpowder, Zhang Chen himself would never dare to enter here casually.

In the distance, I could see a large area of ​​trees with densely packed small flowers, which looked a bit like the osmanthus trees in my previous life.

In the woods, there are countless little bees, buzzing hard and collecting honey.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen chose a suitable position, ensuring that the largest radius of the osmanthus trees could be covered within a hundred meters, and then the next moment he used the beast controlling technique without hesitation.

As Zhang Chen performed his magic, countless bright spots within a hundred meters radius appeared in his mind. He saw bees flying in the jungle, probably hundreds of them.

He saw poisonous snakes lurking in the tree trunks and birds hiding in the branches.

Zhang Chen had an idea, and hundreds of bees were captured by him. Then Zhang Chen was not in a hurry to order the bees to collect honey, but walked quickly among the mountains. As Zhang Chen walked, the several bees followed closely behind him. Among them, some bees kept crashing into Zhang Chen's territory as Zhang Chen's territory moved, and were directly captured by Zhang Chen's territory.

There are many bees in the mountains. Zhang Chen walked for ten minutes and probably caught thousands of bees. Then he came to a locust tree forest. As Zhang Chen's mind turned, the bees began to work hard to collect nectar from the flowers.

Of course, during the honey collecting process, Zhang Chen did not stop walking, but moved at a slow pace in order to capture more bees.

At this time, a clay jar that had been prepared long ago appeared in Zhang Chen's hand. When the time was right later, he would be able to harvest a large amount of honey.

As Zhang Chen continued to move, countless bees were captured by him. In half an hour, thousands of bees had become Zhang Chen's hard-working workers.

As the density of the bee colony increases, the speed of collecting nectar also increases. In order to maintain the high efficiency of nectar collection, Zhang Chen must keep moving to ensure that more flowers are covered and replaced, so as to maintain the high efficiency of nectar collection.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Chen ordered the little bees to pour the honey they had collected into the jar. Then, a swarm of bees came over and swarmed into Zhang Chen's jar. They left the honey they had worked so hard to collect, and then flapped their wings and flew away.

When all the bees had left, Zhang Chen looked at the pool of honey in the jar and couldn't help but smile: "I seem to have discovered an amazing skill! Maybe I can consider changing my career in the future?"

There is quite a lot of honey in the jar. If you use the size of mineral water bottle caps to measure it, there would probably be seven or eight caps.

Thousands of bees collected honey, but only seven or eight jars were filled, which was not much. The main reason was that the honey collection time was too short. If they were given half a day, they could fill a jar. "It's enough for me! Calculating the time, it's time for the bumblebees to separate the hive, and the new queen bee should be born."

Zhang Chen went all the way back to the cave and looked at the place he had chosen for the bumblebee's nest. However, the top of the cave was ten feet high, and even if Zhang Chen was beaten to death, he could not reach it.

"This place has plenty of light and good ventilation, making it a good place to build a beehive." Zhang Chen looked at it carefully for a while, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the place he had chosen was very subtle.

However, it still takes some thought to figure out how to apply honey on the cave.

"There's no stick that long." Zhang Chen looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't find a way to apply the honey on it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Chen finally had an idea: "I don't have wings, so of course I can't reach the beehive, but I can call a bird with wings, smear honey on its wings, and then smear the honey on it."

"I am such a little genius." Zhang Chen thought for a long time, then continued to make gunpowder with a smile.

When the sun sets, Zhang Chen seals the honey and places it in the cave. Then Zhang Chen carries the basket down the mountain and begins to check the traps.

Today's harvest was good, and we actually caught two musk deer.

However, when Zhang Chen returned to the foot of the mountain, he did not see the vixen and Zhang Chen in front of the gate. He could not help but wonder in his heart: "Has the vixen changed her nature? She used to wait for me in front of the gate every day, why has she disappeared in the past two days?"

Zhang Chen returned to the house and threw the musk deer on the ground. However, when he glanced at the wall, he was stunned: "How strange!"

The two pheasant vixens that I hung on the wall yesterday didn't move at all.

"How could this happen? Could it be that the vixen has changed her nature? Can that beast change its nature?" Zhang Chen was stunned on the spot, staring at the pheasant hanging on the wall with a look of incomprehension, bewilderment and disbelief. He had already gotten used to being exploited by the vixen, but why did the vixen change her nature now?
"Why? Will the vixen change her ways and stop exploiting me?" Zhang Chen's eyes widened, his gaze filled with confusion.

At this moment, a flash of light appeared next door, and a girl in a white dress poked her head out from next door with a smug look on her face. She looked at the stunned Zhang Chen from a distance, her big eyes full of smugness, and thought to herself, "Are you stunned? I'm in trouble now, and I can't exploit you too much. If you quit and run away, I'll be in big trouble!"

The vixen thought about it for a whole day and decided not to exploit Zhang Chen anymore, at least not before solving the problem in the ancient tomb. What if this guy ran away, what would happen to her and Zhang Chen?
Seeing that there are still people using vixen to spray me, the vixen will die! Will die!
