A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 14: Moon Sleeping Flower Honey
【Iron Armored Bee】
"Mutation from the Chinese honey bee, it can harden body parts. After hardening, the body surface is covered with a layer of crystal-like armor, which can easily penetrate hardwood. The pincers will no longer fall off easily. However, hardening will cause To reduce flexibility..."
After writing this, Hua Mi stopped and thought for a while, then wrote:
"The body size is similar to that of the Chinese honey bee, with diffraction patterns appearing around the membrane wings..."
Hua Mi’s drawing skills were poor, but she still tried to draw a simple diagram next to it.
It doesn’t require a close resemblance, as long as it can show the characteristics of the new bee species.
Next is the evaluation of related attributes.
[Lifespan: 1]
[Fecundity: 1]
[Productivity: 0.7]
The lifespan and reproductive capacity are similar to those of ordinary Chinese bees, but their production capacity is lower than those of ordinary bee species. The main reason is that its flight speed is almost 0.7 times that of ordinary bees in normal conditions - it is even lower when the whole body is hardened, and can reach as low as about 0.5 times that of ordinary bees.
But that is a special status and will not be taken into account.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, the collection ability of the Iron-clad Bee can be set at 0.7.
Combat aspect——
[Attack power: 1]
[Defense: 5]
[Vitality: 2]
[Speed: 0.5]
Hua Mi rated the armored bee's combat ability as 3.
The so-called combat ability is not evaluated by bees, but by himself.
That is, how much help this bee species can provide him in a hypothetical danger or battle scenario, or how much strength and role it can help him play in it.
Of course, evaluations are somewhat subjective.
However, Hua Mi originally wrote this for herself to read and did not publish it. It does not matter whether it is subjective or not. What he means is that it can reflect the contrast of bee species.
The main purpose is to quantify the attributes of different bee species into numbers, which can be better managed and distributed.
Then there's the Pain Bee.
【Painful Bee】
Mated from the Chinese honey bee, it can secrete a neurotoxin that brings 10 levels of pain to the target, which is equivalent to the pain of being hit by a bullet.
The size is about the same as that of the Chinese honey bee, the pincers become longer and thicker, and the venom gland function is enhanced.
[Lifespan: 1]
[Fecundity: 1]
[Productivity: 1]
The overall assessment of collection ability is 1.
[Attack power: 4]
[Defense: 1]
[Vitality: 1]
[Speed: 1]
The combat ability rating is also 3.
According to this standard.
The gathering ability of the Forest Swift Bee is 2.3 (in addition to twice the speed, the reproductive ability also plays a positive role), while the combat ability is 1.2 (mainly superior in speed).
At this point, all three new bee species have been recorded.
……
Hua Mi does not plan to go out to explore in the coming days.
He planned to wait until the first batch of Moon Sleeping Flower honey was produced. Then, using honey as reward, he might be able to get help from the seven pseudo-flower essences, which would be much better than blindly exploring on his own.
Originally, the bee swarms were all replaced with high-efficiency forest swift bees, which would be more than twice as fast. It is expected that the first batch will be brewed in about a week.
However, there were rainy days during the period. It may be that it happened to be the rainy season and it rained every three days.
This is actually an environment that is not conducive to beekeeping.
But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and far outweigh them. Nothing to complain about either.
On rainy days, in addition to the muffled thunder in the sky, from time to time he could hear ethereal ghostly sounds coming from deep in the forest.
At first it sounds like a whale song, but also like a woman singing, but it often lasts only a few seconds and then disappears.
Creepy.
It also strengthened his decision to go out and explore cautiously.
The magical world is still in an inaccessible forest. Who knows what monsters and monsters you will encounter.
However, he felt that his nerves had become much stronger after such training, and his mental strength had also improved accordingly - I hope it was not an illusion.
I have to praise the building materials of the wooden house again. Even in the rainy season in the forest, there is no sign of moisture at all, and the house is very dry.
When it rains, the beehives can only be moved indoors to allow the bees to stop collecting honey.
On a sunny day, Hua Mi would lie on the bamboo and rattan chair in the backyard, leisurely drinking her own honey and fruit tea, and reading "Alchemy Notes" or "Black Forest Adventure Guide".
A few times I accidentally caught a glimpse of a petite figure, peeking its head behind the big tree, sneaking around.
Although she never showed up, her striking purple hair revealed her identity.
Hua Mi didn't expose her either, she just pretended not to see her.
When I have nothing to do, I practice controlling the armored swarm and the painful swarm.
This is a life-saving method, the more skilled you are, the better.
It is best to formulate tactics to deal with different situations, so as not to be nervous and blinded by unexpected situations.
In his initial conception, the armored bees were mainly used for defense and to resist attacks.
Of course, one armored bee cannot protect him, but a swarm of bees is different. When arranged neatly, it becomes a strong shield, and it is the kind that can be broken and reorganized, which is very powerful.
The Pain Bee is mainly used for attacking, or is it better to control?
A sting can make a person extremely painful and unable to stand up. It is said that there is nothing wrong with the control.
Although you can only control one swarm of bees at a time, you can quickly switch between the two swarms to achieve coordination.
There is a delay in switching, and it takes time to establish contact with the swarm. This is equivalent to the casting forward in the game.
And it requires extra mental energy.
However, through continuous practice, this time can be shortened and the consumption of mental power can be reduced.
Days passed, and as time went by, the honey flow from the Moon Sleeping Flower obviously became less and less.
The Water Breathing Moon is coming soon.
"The temperature is also a few degrees cooler."
Hua Mi was wearing that black robe, and her body temperature was basically constant, so there was no need to add any clothes.
This degree of temperature change is not enough to affect the habits of bees, and no measures are needed to intervene artificially.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
On a sunny afternoon, Hua Mi closed her alchemy notes, got up and walked towards the beehive.
It lasted 21 days.
The first batch of Moon Sleeping Flower honey has been brewed.
Thanks to the Forest Bee.
If this is replaced with ordinary bee species, the time required will be doubled.
Hua Mi has already moved the portable equipment for collecting honey in advance.
Skillfully take out pieces of honey spleen from the beehive and put them into the machine. Under the action of centrifugal force, the yellow honey flows continuously into the bucket, exuding a rich honey fragrance.
Hua Mi is very familiar with this process and can operate it with her eyes closed.
"After bottling, you can't sell all of them online. Find some of them at Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to let the seven little ones taste the sweetness and tempt them to come to my apiary. With them, Help, whether you are going out to find honey sources or tending flower fields, you can get twice the result with half the effort... Those little guys are only as big as honey bottles, and they can't eat much even if they eat them with their belly open."
Besides, we should be able to collect a dozen bottles before the honey flow period is over.
After all the honey spleens have been harvested, it is already dusk.
Hua Mi scooped up a spoonful of honey and slowly poured it into the bucket. Under the sunset, the honey was drawn to form an orange-yellow jade pillar.
Visually the color and density are perfect.
"The Baume concentration can be at least 41, or even 42...let me try the taste."
A small spoonful of honey enters the mouth and enjoys the silky texture.
The sweet taste blooms on the taste buds continuously.
“It’s hard to imagine that this is pure natural honey without any additives!”
The sweet taste lingered in Hua Mi's mind for a long time. The unique fragrance of the Moon Sleeping Flower seemed to make up for the sourness of the pure natural honey. As an experienced honey connoisseur, he couldn't help but marvel at its high quality.
There is no problem at all in rating first-grade honey.
The quality of honey is not only related to the quality of flowers, but also has an inseparable relationship with the bee colonies that collect honey.
These thirty Forest Swift Bees are undoubtedly powerful bees.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is stronger than any bee colony on the earth, whether wild or artificially cultivated.
Strong bee colonies are not only reflected in the speed of honey production, but also in the quality of the final honey.
Hua Mi rated the taste of this honey 90 points, leaving 10 points as room for improvement to avoid being proud of herself.
He couldn't help but take several more bites.
After I took the first few spoonfuls, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my body.
