<p> 養(yǎng)蜂場FT</p><p>萬思樂學V-learn小西媽雙語工程1904期NO.308 Athena打卡</p> <p>參考書目：</p> <p>手工：蜜蜂和花朵</p> <p>(1) 出發(fā)</p><p><br></p><p>Athena，today is Sunday, a bright sunny day, we will go to a apiary /?e?pieri/, where the beekeeper feed lots of honeybees, are you excited?</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s pack things that you need during this visit,</p><p><br></p><p>The apiary is at San Yuan, countryside about 60km far away from here, so we will drive there.</p><p><br></p><p>Are you ready, let’s go.</p><p><br></p><p>We are finally arrived, here it is, the apiary, so many honeybees and beehives. Be careful, do not get too close to watch, bees are generally harmless, but they can sting you if disturbed. Like other bees, their stingers have venom /?ven?m/(毒液)</p><p><br></p><p><br></p> <p>（2）認識蜜蜂</p><p>How bees see a dandelion (left) compared to how we see a dandelion (right).Bees are insects. they have three parts of body, head, thorax, abdomen. Six legs, a pair of wings and two antennae. What else does a bee have? can you guess? A stinger. Many people are scared of them because the stinger.In fact, they are very nice, they do not </p> <p>（區(qū)分雄蜂，工蜂，蜂王）</p> <p>（3） Where do bees live---Beehive</p><p>Honey bees are highly social insects. Many bees live in a beehive. Natural beehives (or "nests") are made by honey bee colonies, while domesticated honey bees are kept in man-made beehives. The beehives made by people are usually the things referred to by the word "beehive." Natural beehives V.S. man-made beehivesA beehive is a large box with a row of s inside. The bees build honeycombs on the s. Honeycombs have hexagonal cells, where bees lay eggs, raise their young and store pollen and honey. Each hexagonal cell tessellates /'t?s?l?t/ 完全嵌合 with the rest.</p><p><br></p> <p>4) Who lives in the beehive?</p><p><br></p><p>—Types of bees</p><p>There are queens, drones and workers.</p><p>The queens and workers are female, the drones are male.</p><p><br></p><p>All the bees in the hive come from eggs laid by the queen.</p><p><br></p><p>the queen(who lays eggs). The queen’s one and only job is to lay eggs. In fact, she spends most of her life inside the hive, lying around. In the springtime, she lays 1500 to 2000 eggs a day.</p><p><br></p><p>workers-females who gather food, make honey, build the six-sided honeycomb, tend eggs, and guard the hive. The workers probably have the best, but hardest, job. They work together to build cells for the baby bees. They take care of the babies and keep the hive clean and tidy. Worker bees also gather pollen and turn it into honey. The honey feeds the baby bees and also feeds the bees over the winter. Both the workers and the queen are female.</p><p><br></p><p>drones-males whose main duty is to find and mate with a queen.</p><p><br></p><p>（昨天蜂農專門讓我對比觀察了新蜂王和老蜂王，之前一直以為一個箱是一家，老蜂農告訴我們一個箱子是兩家有隔板隔開，各自為家，每家的工蜂找到花朵也只會通知自己的家人，動物的世界真是很有趣）</p><p><br></p> <p>看到了活的蜂王啦～</p> <p>(5) About Beekeepers</p><p><br></p><p>1) What kind of equipment do beekeepers need?</p><p><br></p><p>A bee suit to keep clothes clean, also wear a veil over the head to protect my eyes and head from stings.</p><p><br></p><p>2) How to collect the honey?</p><p><br></p><p>They use a smoker to calm the bees, when they blow smoke on bees, they think it is a forest fire. They fill their stomachs with honey in case they have to leave their tree. That is why smoke seems to calm them, because it keeps them busy.</p><p><br></p><p>(3) How much honey do beekeepers get from one beehive?</p><p><br></p><p>Between 60 and 350 pounds(25-179kg) of honey a year, depending on the location and how hardworking the bees are.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>(4) How do beekeepers get the honey out of the comb?搖蜜機（離心機）</p><p><br></p><p>A wax cap seals the honeycomb.</p><p><br></p><p>they have to cut off the capping and then put the into a machine that spins around. This makes the honey fly out of the cells. Then they give the comb back to the bees, and bees fill it up again. After the honey comes out, keepers heat it to thin it. Then filter out the wax and put the honey in jars.</p><p><br></p> <p>最后，蜂農熱情的現(xiàn)場割了一小塊蜂巢蜜送給Athena吃。才知道真正的蜂蜜要封蓋了才能割。真的是漲知識啦～</p> <p>總結：今天我們探尋的是中華小蜜蜂，所采之蜜是“百花蜜”俗稱“土蜂蜜”，不是咱們吃的傳說中的意蜂，所采的是單一花??單一蜜源。</p><p>最后，買了一瓶蜂蜜謝謝蜂農叔叔耐心講解。</p><p>希望Athena學會感恩。</p>
