Introduction: Green bamboo snake mouth, wasp tail needle, both are not poisonous, the most poisonous woman's heart. It can be listed in the history of literature along with the venom of the green bamboo snake and the heart of the woman, and the poison of the wasp can be imagined. However, there is such a group of people, every June and July, they begin to set off together, in the deep mountains and high forests, among the grass and trees, to find and poke a honeycomb.
As the saying goes, if you get into trouble, you are called poking the honeycomb. Why would poking a honeycomb cause trouble? Because the wasp is a social insect, most of them are poisonous. If you poke the honeycomb, the horse bees will swoop in groups to launch a suicide attack on you.
Speaking of this, many people will think, the horse bee is so small, is not it stung by the horse bee a few times, what is the relationship, that is, the pain point, patience will pass. Is that really the case?
From July to September 2013, more than 1,675 people were stung by horses and bees in the three cities of Hanzhong, Ankang and Shangluo in southern Shaanxi, of which 41 died directly; this was the most serious of the years, before or after, and there were stings or deaths every year.
In August 2019, I was in Ankang Shiquan, in the process of bee racing, there was an old lady in the town next to me, who went to the field to pick beans, and did not know what was going on, the wasps on the tree next to me suddenly rushed down and attacked the old lady group, and the old lady died on the spot after being stung for more than 80 mouths.
To say this, I just want to say that in this world, there are still many unknown things that we need to awe and understand. If the wasp is a great threat to personal safety, why would anyone risk their lives to catch the wasp? Let me briefly talk about the wasps I know!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > common wasp species and their value</h1>
(1) Gourd bees
If people living in the north, especially in the Hebei area of Shaanxi, they usually see this thing in some trees:
Gourd buns
This bag, we usually call it a gourd bag, in his inside, live gourd bee, is also a kind of horse bee, widely distributed throughout the country, especially in southern Shaanxi. In the Hufeng incident in southern Shaanxi mentioned earlier, the murderer is like this.
Gourd bees
This kind of bee, because it settles in the tree, we also call it a tree bee to distinguish it from other kinds of earth bees. Gourd bees are generally smaller, slightly larger than bees, and the toxicity is also very strong. However, this kind of bee does not live in the tree all year round, whenever it is cold, after the new queen bee is produced, it will come to the ground, find a soft tree or soil to spend the winter, and then come to the tree again after the warm days in March and April of the next year.
(2) Tiger bee
Tiger-headed bees are named tiger-headed bees because their heads are similar to the tiger's head. However, the scientific name should be called the golden ring wasp, because the tail belly is a circle of yellow and black interlacing, a bit like wearing a golden belt. It generally lives in Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Fujian and Yunnan.
You must never have imagined that this kind of bee, although some people will see it in the sky or in the trees. But you must never have imagined that this kind of bee generally lives in the soil, finding a hole in the soft soil to build a nest.
Golden Ring Vespa Nest
The golden ring wasp is relatively large, generally adult healthy golden ring, the size can reach the length of the little thumb, about three centimeters, the largest is said to be five centimeters, but I have not seen that large. Not only is it large, the strength of this wasp is also very large, especially the two mastiff teeth in front, just like the vise, this kind of bee can not be closed with aluminum or iron wire mesh, because their mastiff teeth can easily cut a shorter iron wire or aluminum wire, must be made of steel wire mesh.
Golden Ring can be said to be a carnivorous animal, when we trap golden ring, we generally use fresh lean pork, pure lean meat, and sometimes use fish meat, but when there is no meat, we will also use grasshoppers. The golden ring is generally particularly fierce, if it is the same nest, it is better to say, if there is a different nest, it will score a life and death when you meet, and it is dry when encountered. After drying, he still feeds on the same kind, but he does not eat his head or stomach, and he has wings in the middle of his chest.
(3) Black tail
The black-tailed wasp is a wasp that looks about the size of a golden ring, and is named Blacktail because its butt is pure black. The toxicity of the black tail can be said to be one of the strongest, even larger than the toxin of the golden ring, only a little worse than the red lady that mixed out.
Black-tailed wasp
Blacktail is not only about the same size as the golden ring, but also lives in the soil like the golden ring, but this wasp does not eat meat, and generally feeds on the sap of the tree. This kind of tree is more common in the south, especially in Jiangxi Hunan, which is commonly known as the pulp tree. There will be fist-sized bumps on the trees, and sweet juice will flow from the knots.
So as long as you find this kind of tree, you will usually see a black tail or a golden ring. When there is no meat to eat, the golden ring also eats this juice.
(4) Red Lady
Red Lady, also known as a kind of foreign bee, is also said to be a wild bee that has always existed around Yunnan. This wild bee is characterized by a red head, a brown body, and a yellow tail, and it is also named red with a red head.
Red Lady Wasp
The Red Lady Wasp is arguably the most toxic of all wasps. In Yunnan, there is a saying that "old buffalo can't withstand three stitches, while people can only withstand one stitch". This kind of bee is not only toxic, but also the social group can be the largest, the ordinary hive can generally have a meter or so is good, and this hive can be up to two or three meters.
As the number of ethnic groups increased, the Red Lady's territorial awareness became extremely strong and more aggressive. That being said, this bee is the best choice for beekeepers or wasps owners.
In addition, there are many other species of wasps in nature, but as a bee-bee person, we are common and mainly look for these four species.
At this point, readers must have some understanding of our goal of the bee-bee people, so why should we capture such a dangerous animal, but also risk our lives. Let's talk about what's the use of us catching these bees!
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the value of the wasp, and the whole body is full of treasures</h1>
Horse bee, most people will have doubts, what use can he do except sting people?
First of all, I want to say that the bee venom of the horse bee sting, mainly histamine, serotonin, bradykinin, hyaluronidase, etc., has hemolytic, hemorrhagic and neurotoxic effects, can damage the myocardium, renal tubules and glomeruli, especially easy to damage the near curved renal tubules, will cause allergic reactions in the human body. Therefore, after being stung, people will die of allergies.
I have been stung by a gourd bee or a black-tailed bee, and here I describe what happened after being stung.
That time was in Duchang, Jiangxi Province, where he was stung three times on the head by a black-tailed wasp. One is in the position of the top of the head, the other is behind the ear, and the other is above the neck behind the head. When I was just stung, I only felt a pain, and then immediately grabbed the wasp with my hand and pulled it off, and then it was a lifeless run, although I ran, I was still stung three times.
After running to a safe distance, the pain of drilling the heart came from the three stinged parts of the head. I don't know what kind of pain ten fingers are connected to the heart, but the pain at that time was more painful than the pain of the ten fingers and the heart. Then the lips began to tingle, followed by the numbness of the hearts of the feet, the rapid heartbeat, and the acceleration of blood circulation throughout the body.
Because we are people in the industry, we also have corresponding drugs. So there were people who smeared medicine on my wounds, and when I wiped them, they had to squeeze the already swollen wounds, intending to squeeze out the venom. The wound was already painful, and it was even more painful when squeezed.
Without squeezing a few times, I just couldn't stand it, and began to hold my head, walking back and forth, sitting or standing. After a little slowing, I started squeezing again, and then I slowed down for a while, and my whole body began to become numb. He stood up again and took off his shoes and socks, and walked back and forth barefoot. After about half an hour, the symptoms became a little better, but the pain still did not lessen.
Fortunately, the numbness was not so severe, I knew that I had picked up a life, and then I immediately found a commissary, bought a piece of ice cream and cold compresses, and immediately drove to Duchang People's Hospital.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital are particularly responsible. After knowing that I was stung by a wasp, I immediately hung up the water at the green light. But I knew that at this time, I just wanted to alleviate the pain, and the other allergy symptoms that I didn't have happened. Awake and enduring the pain of the knife cut, after hanging up a bottle of water, I refused the doctor's request for hospitalization, returned to the accommodation, and until the next morning, it was no longer so painful, and the third day was already well.
The topic is off the rail again. However, with that said, everyone should also understand the discomfort after being stung by a bee.
Although the bee venom of the horse wasp is very toxic, the trace amount of bee venom has a very important role in medicine. Now many of us have heard of bee venom therapy, and bee venom can also be used to treat a variety of difficult diseases, has been carried out worldwide research, there are also some results applied to clinical treatment.
I don't know if it's true or not, but in a medical report in the United States, there was a medical research institute that had successfully used bee venom to develop a drug that could successfully kill HIV and cure AIDS.
However, because of the difficulty of extraction, more than 10,000 wasps can extract 1 gram of bee venom. However, because it is difficult to domesticate, the wasp is very difficult to extract in the wild, and the medical value of the wasp is particularly high. Therefore, the price of vespa wasp venom is more expensive than gold. I don't know much about the price on the international market, but I know that in the ninth year, a gram was several thousand.
Domestic wasp poison, the current market is about 800 yuan a gram or so, but there is no special medical institutions to collect, only some private in the acquisition, but the price is relatively low, not acquaintances, generally only give three or four hundred yuan a gram. But the price is also much more expensive than gold.
Then, there's the vespa pupae. Compared with bee venom, bee pupae is the most important purpose of the bee people.
Bee pupae, which contains more than 165 percent protein, is a high-protein delicacy. I don't know when, the bee pupae that have been used as delicacies in Yungui and other places have flowed all over the country. Although it is not very common, and most people do not dare to eat it. But in Places like Guizhou, Yunnan. Bee pupae is also a local delicacy, and it is also a high-end delicacy.
Like such a plate of bee pupae in the picture, which can probably use about half a kilogram of fresh wasp pupae, but in the restaurant, such a sub-dish, the price is about 400 yuan. And this dish is extremely simple, fresh bee pupa peeled off, put in the oil pan to fry until golden brown, and then fished up, and then put on the pepper and other stir-fry for two minutes out of the pan.
Probably because of the reason for eating, there is a market for bee pupae. Generally, the acquisition of bee pupae will be divided into four classes,
The gourd bee is generally mixed at about 90 yuan a pound, and the gold ring may be 200 pounds. Three or four levels of mixed equipment can sometimes go up to fifty. If you don't choose yourself, together with the bee cake, the golden ring is generally 55-60 pounds, and the gourd bee is about 30.
Because of such a high price, a batch of bee people have been born.
The question arises again, to catch a wasp, why use a fly, instead of catching, or catching? More on that below.
