A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 42: budding

Hua Mi brought a useful rechargeable desk lamp from the earth to facilitate activities at night when there is no moonlight.

This desk lamp can adjust the color of the light through the knob, from orange to incandescent.

Under the pure white light, the plant in the flowerpot shows a strange black and white tone.

The stems and leaves are as black as the original buds, even darker than the buds.

The newly grown flower bones are pure white, and even reflect dazzlingly when the light shines on them.

Turn the **** to adjust the light tone, keeping the stems and leaves black.

The flower bones change synchronously with the color of the light.

This shows that the flower bones reflect almost all light, which is exactly the opposite of the stems and leaves.

Hua Mi took some green liquid and poured it on the flower bones.

The green liquid seeped in slowly.

But Huaguduo itself has not changed much.

"Let the seven little ones cast a spell tomorrow... maybe they will bloom."

Since the weather has been cold recently, not only have the seven pseudo-flower essences become languid, but the bees have also stopped coming out.

One is that the temperature is low, and the other is that there is not much honey outside.

However, as long as the temperature is not lower than 0℃, it is not a big problem.

Even ordinary bee colonies can rely on self-made heat (simply speaking, heat generation through friction) to maintain the appropriate temperature in the hive.

Not to mention the new bee species that have evolved and are more resistant to harsh environments.

Current bee colony structure: a total of fifty colonies.

Among them, 40 forest swift bees are the main force in honey production.

1 Pain Bee and 1 Armored Bee. These two are more focused on fighting, but they can also participate in collecting honey.

1 Iron-armored Swift Bee and 1 Ring-cutting Bee. They are pure combat troops and can be regarded as his elite troops.

There are also 6 ordinary bees as backup.

The structure is very healthy, both offensive and defensive, and the production aspect is also satisfactory.

The circumcised bee is a bee species obtained from his second cross.

He also tried three more hybrids on this basis.

But as the number of crosses increases, the difficulty increases exponentially.

With his current mental strength, the second hybridization is already the limit.

Triple crosses were tried several times but failed.

Of course, this is not the limit of hybridization, but his limit. The mental strength is still not strong enough.

As for the crosses between Pain Bees and Ironclad Bees, Pain Bees and Forest Swift Bees.

Although these two are a cross, he can do it easily.

But the hybridization results are not very satisfactory.

The main problem is with the Pain Bees.

Its main gene fragment makes it difficult for other bee species to combine with it to produce beneficial traits, and the hybrid result is not as good as the parent bee.

So it is a failed hybridization.

Hua Mi has not been reproduced.

Of course, there is still mutation lure left, and he can use mutation method to create new mutant bee species as he did at the beginning.

But the probability of success of this broken potion is really too low.

Currently, the demand for new bee species is not that urgent, so Hua Mi plans to maintain the status quo and delay the cultivation of new bee species for the time being.

……

Back on Earth, Hua Mi logged into her account and checked the background.

The total number of followers on the store has exceeded 1,000, and most of the more active ones are new fans.

They were all attracted by these two batches of magic honey.

"There are 34 new bottles on order."

In just one week, nearly 300 bottles have been sold.

Moreover, many people repurchase the next day.

Because each person is limited to buying 5 bottles per month, customers who repurchase can only buy up to 4 bottles.

This is not conducive to reputation expansion.

Hua Mi then modified the quantity limit, directly changing it to only 1 bottle per person per month.

Online shopping platforms all use real-name authentication. One ID card corresponds to one account, and it is impossible to open a small account to scan goods.

In fact, for a person, based on the amount of one cup of honey water per day, it is not a problem to consume a bottle of honey for one or two months.

Hua Mi also made a special announcement explaining: The inventory of this batch of honey is limited. In order to ensure that more people can buy it, we have restricted each person to only purchase one bottle per month. I hope everyone can understand.

Slowly building floors under the announcement:

"Huh???"

"If I had known better, I would have bought 5 bottles from the beginning."

"One bottle? What's enough for one bottle? I'll finish it in a few days."

“One or two cups a day is enough. Control the amount carefully. Eating too much of anything is not good for the human body.”

"There is no need to limit the purchase. Whether you can grab it depends on your personal ability."

"I just added it to the shopping cart, and when I clicked to buy, it suddenly prompted me that I exceeded the purchase quantity limit. What the hell..."

"It's miserable, upstairs, it's miserable."

"What? There's actually a purchase limit... Oh, so I've already bought five bottles, so that's okay Y(￣▽￣)."

"Put out the superior ones!"

"Boss, if the inventory is not enough, go ahead and restock. Why limit the purchase quantity?"

"Good honey takes time to brew. Come on, boss, I'm waiting for you~"

"Looking forward to the next batch of honey (*^_^*), I wonder if it will have other effects."

"The effects of both honeys are amazing. For me, who suffers from insomnia and poor skin due to anxiety, it is a blessing from heaven. Boss, you are the eternal **** in my heart!"

"I bought honey produced by another store in Huayu Town. Although it also has zero additives, the taste is much worse and there is no obvious effect. The meal replacement plan failed, and the boss quickly came up with a new one."

“Don’t be afraid of purchase restrictions, call on the whole family to mobilize immediately!”

“I recommended it to my friend, but he didn’t believe it. He also suspected that I was bringing goods.”

……

The next day.

As soon as Hua Mi traveled through it, she suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped a few degrees, and the world on both sides was like a world of ice and fire.

He quickly took out his black robe and put it on to block out the cold air from the outside world.

"I hope the temperature during the glacial period will not be too low, and it is best to maintain it above 0℃. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com"

Otherwise, common bees, forest swift bees and painful bees with low vitality may not be able to survive the ice age simply by producing heat on their own.

The vitality of Pain Bees and Forest Swift Bees is similar to that of ordinary bees. They have not evolved beneficial traits in this regard, which is reflected in their relatively low ability to withstand harsh environments.

When external temperature and other factors become unfavorable to the survival of the bee colony, human intervention is required.

"Why don't you bring a heater over, the kind that burns wood. There is no shortage of wood in the forest anyway, and you can easily cut a tree into wood pieces with a ring cutter bee."

Hua Mi silently kept the matter of heating the wooden house in mind.

The flower that grew from the mysterious seed was still the same as last night. The contrast between the black and white tones was obvious. The flower bones seemed a little bigger, but it was not obvious. It might be his psychological effect.

Opened the window and looked outside.

Most of the trees have begun to lose their leaves, but some remain evergreen.

The entire forest became much quieter, and the chirping of insects and birds was rarely heard.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to find new honey sources, but if we can build a greenhouse during the Ice Age, it won't be a loss."

After all, in the chaotic period after the ice age, the environment was even worse.

If there is a greenhouse, at least the source of honey can be guaranteed.

Hua Mi took some green liquid and poured it on the mysterious flower.

At this moment, seven pseudo-flower spirits flew in in formation.

"Good morning, beekeeper."

The leader, Xiao Hong, yawned loudly, and two drops of crystal water oozed from the corners of her eyes.

The seven little ones all looked sleepy, far different from their previous state.

"You are here just in time." Hua Mi greeted him with a smile: "Look, this plant has grown flowers. If you use magic to ripen it, maybe it will bloom."
