For Xingtai County, Hebei Province, men's beekeeping is not uncommon, and women are also many beekeeping, Xiaobian today led everyone to visit Ms. Lu Liye, a sweet bee garden in Huining Town, Xingtai County, Hebei Province, known as a strong woman in beekeeping.
Thin and thin, is it difficult to imagine a beehive that can be moved often when you go out? "People say honey is the sweetest, but who has ever seen the guilt of putting bees outside, if you don't fall in love with this line, you won't want to go out." Luliette talked about the days of releasing bees and felt a lot.
She is 36 years old, and since graduating from junior high school in 2000, she has followed her father Lu Yaoqing on the hard road of a sweet career.
Their family has been beekeeping for 30 years, the father's biggest pursuit in life is to develop beekeeping, based on the large area of peach trees, wattles, almond trees and flowers and grass along the road, purchased 40 boxes of bees, after years of chasing flowers and honey, has increased to 200 boxes, two of the three brothers and sisters are engaged in beekeeping.
In 2002, after Lu Liye married to Dafuzhuang, her husband worked in the county brick factory, the family conditions were not the same, there were old and young, going out to work early and greedy could not earn a few money, after having a son and daughter, the father-in-law was seriously ill, the husband and sister went to college, in order to support the family, the father gave Liye 30 boxes of five or six boxes of bees free of charge in 8012. Since then, she has kept these bees independently on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has taken care of her two children and father-in-law. After the death of the father-in-law, the son was taken care of by the mother-in-law to go to school, and the daughter followed him out to herd bees. Her hometown is in the suburbs of Xingtai City, located in the city of 10,000 acres of peach orchards, four seasons of green, three seasons of flowers, but the honey source is concentrated before July, after the need to find another source of honey, the annual production line is in the spring in the local use of rapeseed and peach apricot blossom breeding, plus reward honey, pollen, to the locust period on average to reach the flat box, the best has thirteen or four frames, Jingtiao period in the local honey twice, and then rushed to the songjiazhuang town in the deep mountains with his father, close to winter and then return home.
"Father is his most influential role model," Luliette said with great reverence for his father. It was her father who taught her how to be a person, how to manage the bee colony, the utensils were not complete, the father sent it free of charge, I don't know how many times because of bee mites, crawling bee disease hurt brains, father is busy to help solve.
Beekeeping is the most seasonal industry, the production period for several consecutive days even can not take care of eating, go out to take the little daughter, take honey, take propolis, pollen, boiling wax and loading and transportation, etc., these men do the work Liye all dried, don't look at her usual gentle and gentle work is quite energetic. Summer long time in the hot sun exposure, so that her beautiful face tanned, resistant to bee stings every day, at the beginning of the sting of the face and hands swollen, painful crying several times, now has long been used to, but practiced a good body.
"In order to make more money, beekeeping must learn advanced production technology in the face of fierce market competition." With the changes in the consumer market, the production of large barrels of honey prices are low, sales are not good, in 2015 beekeeping 50 groups only earned 25,000 yuan, and the production of nest honey seen in bee magazines can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. As a result, Lu Liye participated in the 2016 nest honey technology training course held by the Yu garden bee products professional cooperative, and produced 1,000 boxes (500 grams) that year, with an income of 16,000 yuan, plus a large bucket of honey and other products, with an income of 36,000 yuan, and in 2017, the production of 3,000 boxes was only 48,000 yuan, with a total income of 70,000 yuan.
Now, the Size of the Luliette Bee Farm is 105 groups, and everyone praises the Queen of the United Nations as not inferior at all. "This year, as long as the year is good, ready to produce 6,000 boxes," Lu Liye participated in the Xingtai County vocational farmer technical training for four consecutive times last winter, and made a special trip to Beijing Bee World to visit and study, her vision was wide open, and the goal was also high, hoping that her wish could be realized.
