Chapter 62: Beekeeping for a Thousand Days. Using bees
to artificially plant flower fields requires careful planning. Do not just grab a handful of seeds and scatter them into the ground. This will cause a great waste of resources and will also affect the future growth of flowers.
The distance between seeds must be well controlled to grow the most flowers in a limited space.
The planned flower fields are many times denser than the flowers growing wildly in the wild.
Of course, the number of different types of flowers that can be planted in one acre of land will vary, and the difference may be quite large.
He has seen the appearance of pili flowers, and can probably judge the most suitable distance between plantings.
As for the depth of burial in the soil, he also made a judgment based on his own flower planting experience.
Early the next morning, Hua Mi took her grandfather's bamboo hat and some agricultural tools and traveled to another world.
It's still dark here.
Hua Mi took apart all 25 bags of Pili flower seeds, packed them together in a storage box, and moved them all to the greenhouse.
These more than 20,000 seeds were planted manually by him alone. He didn't know that it would take until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Of course there are tricks.
He has already thought of a way.
The first step is to plan the planting area.
He plans to start planting from the lower right corner of the greenhouse, and estimates that two acres of land can accommodate more than 20,000 seeds.
It's probably an interval of 30mX40m.
First, the area was cleared of rocks and weeds.
Then I made a sign and put it on the head of the field with the words "Perak Flower District" written on it.
Next, it was the turn of the hand-pulled plow.
This is a compact plowing tool, which has been improved by generations of people in Huayu Town and finally formed into a special agricultural tool for flower fields.
It can be pulled by one person. There are rollers at the bottom, and the angle of the plow is adjusted. If the person pulls in front, a small ravine can be plowed smoothly.
Of course, this kind of plow cannot generally be used for planting crops because it cannot make a trench that is too wide or too deep. It can only be used for planting flowers.
Hua Mi's expected planting depth is about three centimeters.
No more than 4 cm, no deeper, otherwise it will affect the growth of the seeds.
Two acres of land can actually be plowed very quickly.
It took Hua Mi more than two hours to plow this area.
The land is densely dotted with ravines, which look perfectly planned.
As for how to put the seeds evenly into these ravines...
As a beekeeper, he is the bee whisperer in the black forest.
Of course, using bees.
Keep bees for a thousand days, use bees for a while!
Hua Mi unfolded the magic box and controlled three forest speed bee swarms to fly out.
With the blessing of the meditation beads, he can now easily control three swarms of bees at the same time.
More than 30,000 forest swift bees, under Hua Mi's control, turned into three streams of black smoke and buzzed toward the storage box.
Pili flower seeds are only the size of mung beans and weigh only a few tenths of a gram. An ordinary bee can easily carry it, let alone the forest speed bee with better performance.
The little bees came one after another, each carrying a seed.
Twenty to thirty thousand seeds may sound like a lot, but bees are so powerful that they can be emptied out in a blink of an eye.
Divided into two teams, one team carries seeds and one team does not.
All in the air waiting for orders.
Hua Mi calmed down, took out the honey water to replenish his energy, and then controlled the bees carrying the seeds to spread out over the Perak flower area, aiming at the ravines on the ground, and evenly spaced them.
This kind of regular formation is easier to control than just swarming to get seeds.
During this period, he also concluded a rule, that is, when giving instructions to the same group of bees, the more in line with the nature of the bees, the more concentrated or regular the instructions, the easier it is to execute and the less mental energy is consumed.
Just like the current queue mode.
However, some instructions that go against the nature of bees and are relatively scattered and chaotic are much more difficult to control, and the mental energy consumed also increases.
The swarm hovered steadily a few centimeters above the gully.
After confirming the complete alignment, Hua Mi gave an order, and more than 20,000 bees were released at the same time, and the seeds fell into the ravine.
Perfectly evenly spaced.
Doing this can not only save a lot of time, but also exercise mental strength and concentration, killing two birds with one stone.
Hua Mi sat down to relax for a while, took off her bamboo hat to fan herself, drank some honey water, and regained her mental strength a little, then got up to fill the soil again. This step is also very simple, just push the soil that has been plowed to both sides back with your feet.
It's very simple, just be careful not to step too hard.
The process took less than an hour to complete.
It's just a bit expensive for shoes.
"In this way, the seed filling is completed."
Hua Mi took the watering tool and watered two rows at a time, moving steadily along the traces of the gully.
Generally, flowers that bloom in the cold season should not be watered too frequently. Watering once every 10 days or so is enough.
But this is limited to natural growth.
Hua Mi will not wait for them to grow up slowly. They must use magic means to promote growth every day.
After watering the ground, Hua Mi returned to the cabin.
The seven little ones had already arrived and had been to the greenhouse, but Hua Mi was busy farming at that time and had no time to pay attention to them.
So they came to the cabin again and continued their breeding work.
Regarding promoting growth, on the one hand, we rely on the magic of pseudo-flower essences, and on the other hand, we rely on green liquid.
After nearly a month, more than two hundred bottles of green liquid have been stored.
Although the green liquid is generated slowly, about 10 bottles can be accumulated in a day and night.
"It's a bit luxurious to water it every day. There will definitely be no supply. You can water it every other day or every two days, and then use the magic of pseudo-flower essence..." Hua Mi put the green
liquid into the sprayer and came to the place with Qi Xiaozhi. greenhouse.
Spray green liquid first.
Then the seven little ones will perform growth-promoting magic.
I saw them flying above the flower field, with crystal light spots falling from their wings, falling on the ground and disappearing.
This time it's an area cast.
Hua Mi once again witnessed the magic of magic with her own eyes.
I saw the soil in the ground turning, and light green buds sprouting out one after another.
The originally barren soil suddenly burst into life.
The seven little ones flew back tiredly.
Casting area magic on two acres of land at once was a big burden for them, even though they were professionally qualified.
"You have worked hard too." Hua Mi said.
They are definitely tired, but they are also sincerely happy when they see that their work is paying off.
"Look how cute they look."
"I hope they will grow up quickly and bleed a lot of honey."
"I wonder what it tastes like?"
...
The two acres of Pili flowers are obviously not enough.
More seeds are needed.
At least four or five acres of land must be planted.
Therefore, breeding work must continue.
But there is no need to store them in the future. The seeds produced every day can be planted directly into the greenhouse, and green liquid and magic catalysis are added.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Under the care of Hua Mi and Qi Xiaojie, the seedlings grew vigorously.
A week later, the first two acres of land were already in bud.
The temperature reached a record low that day, and the sky was also dark and unclear.
Hua Mi finished handling things in the greenhouse as usual and returned to the wooden house.
It happened that Hilya came to visit.
Holding a potion bottle in hand.
"No way, it's only been a few days... is she really a genius?"
