The guy wants to do 1 exciting and interesting thing in Africa, his 2 bodyguards gave him the idea to poke the honeycomb to make honey to eat, 3 people hit it off, decided to take a risk, to a bee mouth to grab food.
Because the wasps could not be seen at night and were not easy to sting people, the group chose to set off at night, ready to use the most primitive method to find honey in the depths of this African bush.
The boy is more curious about the way Africans collect honey, and wants to see how they do it, and the thorns are not irritating;
Because there are often lions in the mountains and forests, everyone also carries protective equipment with them when they leave at night for self-defense.
Because it is a night in the mountain forest activities, in case of accidents, they also called a few more brothers ah bold, otherwise it is very dangerous outside at night, everyone is best not to do such a thing.
2 bodyguards also brought 1 bucket, and 1 cowhide bag, the cowhide bag does not know what to do, anyway, it is quite mysterious, but wait a while to pick honey to know.
Everyone walked in the dark in the mountains and forests for more than an hour, and a large tree appeared in front of them, and there were a few pieces of wood hanging from the tree, at which time people stopped and did not leave.
The young man felt very curious, and only after inquiring did he understand that he had found the place, and the wood hanging on the tree was the masterpiece of the Maasai people;
It turned out that they had built an artificial honeycomb for the wasp out of hollowed out wood in the middle, and at the same time it was convenient to pick honey.
Beekeeping must take advantage of the night action, if it is easy to be stung during the day, at night the bees are sleeping, you can take advantage of its lack of preparation to directly put the hive down to remove, to avoid being stung.
The shape of the beehive during the day
At night, all kinds of animals in the wild are out of the field, and many snakes and bugs on the ground are crawling around, to say that this thing is also quite scary, if you are bitten and do not know what the consequences will be, everyone is careful to avoid them.
An African bodyguard who first went up the tree to get the hive was stung by the wasp, and even if the wasp slept at night, if you climb the tree and move it, it will wake up or sting.
Because they also have a division of labor, there are guards and sentries, and when they find that the situation is not right, they immediately issue an alarm, and now the horses and bees are all awake, but they can't see at night and dare not run far, they are all guarding around the hive.
After some discussion, several people changed another bodyguard to go up. This time, everyone learned the lesson just now, and no longer use a flashlight to illuminate the hive, because the wasp saw it and would attack the people next to the hive.
In this way, the African bodyguard who had just gone up approached the wooden hive lightly, tied the hive with a cowhide rope he had brought, and slowly hung it from the tree, and this time they succeeded.
Another daring African brother stepped forward to untie the rope and open the lid on the wood, at this time the bee swarm came out at once, and the African brother was stung by more than 10 bites on his hand, constantly plucking the bee sting.
In order to drive the wasps away to obtain honey, the bodyguard lit a torch and put it near the hive, and the smoke generated by the torch drove away many wasps, and some of the wasps still stuck in the nest, but this no longer posed a threat to everyone.
They excitedly took the honey out of the hive and put one piece after another of golden honey into the barrel, and today's harvest was really good, with 30 pounds.
At night outside the wilderness of Africa, the young man and a group of Maasai people happily tasted the fragrant and sweet honey, which was so delicious that it felt so good.
Seeing this, I think the Maasai people are very wise, really clever, they hang this made wooden hive on the tree, attract the bees to live, and then when the bees are full of a box of honey, they will come and pick it, and eat these sweet honey, which is very remarkable.
Nature has left many gifts in the vast African land, and the industrious and brave African people are also using their wisdom and wisdom to accept this gift and change their lives.
