He looked around.

Although this place is a mountain, because of its extremely large mountain, despite its high mountain, the terrain is relatively flat.

Among these oblique mountains, various plants grow everywhere, including tall trees, low shrubs, and weed vines.

It is really difficult to find a peanut-sized bee from these messy and dense plants.

Moreover, there are not only bees in the forest. In this relatively primitive forest, in addition to bees, there are many small insects.

These bugs are not much bigger than bees, and the smaller ones are not much smaller than bees, so they often get confused and are happy in the end.

However, Liu Qingshan felt that since he had just found honey bees collecting honey nearby, it means that the beehive is not far away.

Because the radius of bees collecting honey is about three kilometers, which means that the distance between the bees collecting honey is generally not more than three kilometers when they are found.

According to this idea, as long as you find the water source nearby, the location of the hive can be further determined.

Because bees, like other animals, cannot be separated from water sources. When the bee colony is short of water, bees have to go to the water source to collect water. This situation is particularly common in the dry autumn and winter seasons.

Moreover, most of the bee colonies who go out to collect water are elderly bees. After these old guys finish collecting water, they will fly straight back to the beehive.

Moreover, generally speaking, the distance between the bee's water collection point and the beehive will not exceed 500 meters.

One is three kilometers and the other is five hundred meters. From this we can see that tracking old bees that collect water is definitely easier than tracking honey bees.

In this way, Liu Qingshan walked towards the valley.

Generally speaking, water sources will gather in valleys.

Especially for this kind of mountain, the location on the side of the mountain is not conducive to water accumulation, so to find the water source, you have to go to the valley.

The so-called valley is a place where two mountains are connected by road.

This kind of place has a relatively shorter light time and is cooler, which is very suitable for water sources to gather.

Liu Qingshan spread the shrubs and vines and headed all the way to the valley.

After arriving at the valley, I found a puddle.

The puddle is located right in the middle of the valley, and there are gables of two mountains on both sides.

If there is water in the puddle, it will cause the surrounding soil to be wet, which is not conducive to the growth of big trees, so it appears to be a little wider. Apart from some weeds, you can only see some shrubs around.

Liu Qingshan walked over, washed his hands first, then picked up the water and took a sip.

Sweet and clear, it has a unique taste.

However, now is not the time to sigh at the sweet scenery. Now, finding the bees that collect water is the key.

Liu Qingshan stood still, stood beside the puddle, staring at the wet mud around with his eyes burning.

Bees are not dragonflies. When bees collect water, they usually collect water in damp mud instead of directly pounce on the water surface. Therefore, pay special attention to the wet mud around the puddle.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Qingshan soon found bees in the mud bees.

Haha, there are really bees.

This is enough to show that the hive is only five hundred meters away from him now.

However, if it is centered on him, it is not easy to find a honeycomb in a circle with a radius of 500 meters.

After all, the mountains and forests are so big and there are so many trees, it is really not easy to find.

In order to improve efficiency, we must also track down the bees that collect water.

Fortunately, the bee that collects water is an old guy. He is slow to react and it is a little harder to fly, so it is not that difficult to track it down.

However, humans are humans, and bees are bees. One can fly and the other can't fly. No matter how awesome you Liu Qingshan is, you cannot easily cross the bush forest like a bee.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan chased the water-picking bee in front of a dense bush forest.

However, it’s nothing to chase and throw away now. After all, the direction and the approximate distance have been determined.

It took about two hundred meters to get here from the water pit.

Then, from here to the beehive, it is at most less than 300 meters, or even shorter.

In this way, it is not difficult to find a beehive.

Liu Qingshan slowly walked through the bush forest and came to a relatively flat mountain.

Here are big trees and thick branches.

According to the habits of bees, they either build their hives in stone caves or in tree caves.

Of course, sometimes, they also choose dirt holes.

However, judging from the surrounding environment, these forests are densely wooded, which leads to wet soil. Therefore, it is unlikely that bees will build their hives in the soil.

In this way, only the cracks of stones or tree holes remain.

There are no stones nearby. Even if there are, they are just ordinary stones as small as fists and as big as heads. These stones are mostly scattered on the ground and are completely impossible to use for building honeycombs.

So, in the end, there is only one option left - tree hole.

Trees with holes will naturally be large.

Otherwise, if a tree as big as an arm is empty, it would not be dead?

Liu Qingshan looked at him and saw many big trees.

Among these trees, except for the stunted seedlings, the smallest of them are probably as big as his waist.

In this way, you can only listen to the sound.

Since you have confirmed that the hive is not far away, you can find the hive just by calming down and listening carefully to the bees.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan stood still, stood in the lush forest, closed his eyes, raised his ears, and carefully distinguished the sounds around him.

Huh, it's the sound of the wind.

The breeze is not strong, and after blowing the leaves, there will be some subtle rustling sounds.

After that, there were the chirping of birds and the sneaky sounds of some small animals.

Well, there was a sound of light footsteps, like a few cute little civets chasing and fighting in the forest. Of course, it might be other small animals. However, you can't tell what they are just listening to the footsteps.

Apart from these noises...

Liu Qingshan took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out, making his body easier and his hearing more sensitive.

In addition to these noises, well, there are indeed some buzzing sounds.

However, the sound is not far away, it is right in my ears!

Liu Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes and saw a little bee flying past and heading towards him.

It seems that the beehive is not far away!

Liu Qingshan hurriedly chased after him.

Because the terrain is relatively flat and the bee flies very low, it is not difficult to chase.

When a bee returns to the nest, the higher it flies, the farther it is from the hive, and the lower it flies, the closer it is to the hive.

Judging from the flight height of this bee, the hive is right in front.
