Original text of Lychee Honey Yang Shuo

Anything that can be painted, including flowers, birds, grass and insects, is often loved by the original. Bees are a favorite of painters, but I don't like them very much. It's funny to say that once when I was a kid, I went up to a tree to pinch begonia flowers. I didn't want to be stung by a bee, and the pain was so painful that I almost fell down. The adults told me that a bee stings easily because it stings because it mistakenly thinks you are going to hurt it. Once stung, it will exhaust its life and will not live long. After hearing this, I felt sorry for the bee and forgave it. But from then on, every time I saw a bee, I felt emotional and uncomfortable.

In April this year, I stayed at Conghua Hot Spring in Guangdong for a few days. It is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by a pool of spring water. The thick and green scenery is simply a green landscape painting. It was a cloudy day that night when I first went there. Occasionally I leaned against the building window and looked out. It was strange. Why did so many dark hills appear out of thin air in front of the building? One after another, they kept rising and falling. I remember that there is a garden in front of the building, not a mountain. What kind of illusion is this? I rushed to see it at dawn and couldn't help but laugh. It turns out that there are lychee trees all over the field, one after another, and the leaves of each tree are so dense that the seams are not visible. Looking at it in the dark, they don't look like mountains!

Lychee may be the freshest and most beautiful fruit in the world. Su Dongpo wrote this poem: "If you eat three hundred lychees a day, you will grow up to be a Lingnan native." This shows the beauty of lychees. But I came at the wrong time, the lychees were just blooming. The tree is full of small light yellow flowers, which are not outstanding. The new leaves are light red in color and are more beautiful than the flowers. It takes about three months from flowering to fruit ripening. It seems that I can’t wait to eat fresh lychees here. It’s time to eat fresh lychee honey. Maybe some people haven’t heard of this rare thing? The lychee trees in Conghua are as numerous as the vast ocean. During the flowering season, the bees are buzzing all over the place and they are so busy that they forget morning and evening. The characteristics of lychee honey are pure color and rich nutrients. Most people who live in hot springs like to eat this honey to nourish their bodies. A warm-hearted comrade gave me two bottles. As soon as you uncork the bottle, there is such a sweet aroma; when you mix it to half a cup and drink it, the sweet aroma is refreshing, with a hint of fresh lychee. Drinking such good honey, you will feel that life is sweet.

I felt emotional and wanted to see bees, which I have never liked.

Deep in the lychee forest, a corner of the white house is faintly revealed. It is the apiary of Hot Spring Commune, but it has an interesting name, "Beekeeping Building". As soon as you approach the "building", you can see swarms of bees coming in and out, flying here and there. The bustling scene will make you think that maybe the bees are also rushing to build some new life.

Beekeeper Lao Liang led me into the "building". Call him Lao Liang, but he is actually a young man who behaves very steadily. Probably because Lao Liang wanted me to learn more about the life of bees, he carefully opened a wooden beehive. The box was separated by a row of boards, and the boards were full of bees, crawling squirmingly. The queen bee is dark brown and extremely long. Each worker bee is willing to support her with the royal jelly she secretes.

Lao Liang said softly with admiration: "Look at these little things, how obedient they are!"

I asked: "How much can a swarm of bees like this harvest in a year?" "Honey?"

Lao Liang said: "Bees love to work. The weather in Guangdong is good and there are many flowers. Bees make a lot of honey all year round." You have a limited amount of food. Every time you harvest honey, just leave a little bit, which is enough for them to eat. They never fight or care about anything, and they continue to work and make honey, working tirelessly all day and month..."

I asked again: "It's such a honey, aren't you afraid of something destroying it?"

Lao Liang said: "Why aren't you afraid? You have to be careful of insects crawling in, and you have to be careful Bumblebees. Bumblebees are the worst thieves. They often land at the entrance of bee nests and do bad things." I smiled and said, "Oh! There are also invaders in nature. How to deal with them? "

Lao Liang said: "Kill it if you can't drive it away. If you let it stay there, it will kill the bee."

I thought of a question. Question: "How long can a bee live?"

Lao Liang said: "The queen bee can live for three years, and the worker bee can live for up to six months.

”

I couldn’t help but tremble: What a cute little creature! Asking for nothing from people, but giving people wonderful things. Bees are making honey, and they are making life; Instead, they create the sweetest life for human beings. Bees are small, but how noble they are!

Through the lychee forest, I looked at the fields in the distance, where farmers were standing. In the paddy fields, they are working hard to divide and plant rice. They are using their labor to build their own lives, and they are actually making honey for themselves, for others, and for future generations.

This night. , I had a strange dream, dreaming that I turned into a little bee.
