The wasp is a highly aggressive insect, such a dangerous animal, but has great economic value. In order to obtain wild wasps and pupae, many people risk their lives to go to the wild to collect hives, and every year there are incidents of being stung to death for catching wasps.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Sichuan men collect beehives in the mountains, and 200 pounds of horse honeycombs are sold for 50,000 yuan</h1>
Bees are farmed primarily to obtain honey, and artificially farmed bees have a lower value of honey than wild honey. The same is true of horse bees, which are very expensive due to their scarcity.
For example, the price of the wild red lady black bee pupae sold for 400 yuan per kilogram, and an adult worker bee can also be sold for 2 yuan. If only the pupae could be sold for money, the bee catcher would not be able to risk much.
People who catch bees tend to catch them all, and even if they wear anti-bee suits, unexpected situations will inevitably occur. Recently, there was a news about the sale of horse bees to 50,000 yuan circulated on the Internet, and the beekeeper Hong Feng collected a horse honeycomb with a net weight of 196 kilograms and a gross weight of 200 kilograms, which is very rare for a horse honeycomb of this size. It usually only appears in the deep mountains and old forests.
Due to the increasing popularity of the industry of wild wasps, in general, wild honeycombs are rarely so large. At a certain point, the bee people will be caught and given a pot end, and although this giant honeycomb is also collected in the deep mountains and old forests, it is actually artificially placed in advance.
Hong Feng can be regarded as a special beekeeper who specializes in breeding vespas in the wild, and in order to obtain the red lady black bee that retains its wild characteristics, he has cooperated with mountain farmers. In a breeding place in the deep mountains, 4 red lady black queen bees are placed, and there is only one queen bee in the wild honeycomb, and multiple queen bees can breed more worker bees, and the honeycomb is also larger than the general honeycomb.
However, not all species of horse bees can be placed in this way to breed multiple queen bees together, and the red lady black bee selected by Hong Feng is produced in Yunnan, which is the largest one in Yunnan. This wasp is highly aggressive, has a variety of toxic substances in its venom, and its main danger is that the red lady black wasp can continuously attack the target.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > there are many aspects of value in collecting a hive</h1>
Bees sting people will then die because of the poisonous glands on their tails, which will detach when they reach the target. After the Red Lady Black Bee stings the person, the venom glands will not detach, and they can continue to sting after a sting. However, the danger is dangerous, the bee catcher has a special protective clothing, as long as the protection is appropriate, there will be no unexpected situation.
And the more poisonous the wasp, the higher its value. Bee pupae and worker bees can be processed into specialty delicacies, and the small number makes their prices rise. Generally poisonous wasps have sufficient medicinal value, bee pupae and worker bees are used to brew wine, can treat headaches, migraines, memory loss, etc., honeycomb bubble wine also has a specific effect.
These unique effects make the Red Lady Black Bee a delicacy in the eyes of bee catchers. But the income of wasps caught in the wild is unstable, and captive farming has become the main source of high enough income for many bee catchers.
This kind of work, which seems dangerous, is often directly related to high returns. Because it is very dangerous, there are very few people who can do it, and there is a large enough market demand, the value is naturally getting higher and higher.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the high risk of catching wasps should not be easily attempted by ordinary people</h1>
From another point of view, the cultivation of such poisons has become a characteristic industry. For example, the breeding of scorpion centipede poisonous snakes is also accompanied by great danger, but the breeding environment of horse wasps is in the wild.
If you are a novice, it is difficult to deal with some situations. Because the stung death of bees is mostly related to the capture of wild wasps, even if there is the protection of protective clothing, it is still possible to be stung if you are not careful.
Moreover, in order to maintain the wild nature of the wasps, artificial breeding will not interfere too much in the breeding site, so the danger is not much different from wild bee catching. So don't look at the high income of catching wasps, but that is to take life safety as a bet, the average person should not easily try.
