Where do leg swelling bees like to hide?
For a long time, people will encounter wasps with fierce nature and fierce toxins, lest they avoid them. Lan Jialin, a Yao farmer in Aina Village, Laopeng Township, Tiane County, Hechi City, Guangxi, has bravely found a new way to build nests and raise wasps to get rich in recent years.
Tian 'e County, located at the southeast foot of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of wasps because of its high mountains and dense forests. Swarms of wasps are built in hidden bushes and grass.
Nesting, breeding, and occasionally flying out to sting people or animals, the locals call it "mine bee". The wasp pupa contains a high content of protein, which is an expensive delicacy in local restaurants.
Lan Jialin began to study the living habits and behavior characteristics of wasps from 1995. In recent years, he gradually explored a set of methods for digging holes in the mountains to raise wasps:
The first is to make a good anti-sting suit. He made a jumpsuit, trousers and hat with thick self-woven homespun, and put on transparent glasses on his eyes, with his mouth, nose and other parts protruding forward, leaving room for normal breathing.
The second is to find a hornet's nest in the mountains. Put on a special stab-resistant suit, go to the forest where wasps often eat tree pulp, use insects as bait to catch wasps, try to gently tie the caught wasps' body with a sewing thread, tie a light marker such as chicken and duck fluff at the other end of the thread, and then let the wasps fly, so that people can easily find the wasp's nest after it.
Third, after finding the hornet's nest, put the medicine thread on it, smoke out the bees in the nest, carefully dig the hornet's nest with a hoe, select the queen bee with a huge body and a particularly full tail, cut off her wings and put it in a specially ventilated and covered container with bees.
Fourthly, dig a ventilated and rain-proof hole near the village where wasps are suitable, and install a wooden door with several holes left for wasps to enter and leave. This is an artificial hornet's nest. Then put the wasp and some insects in the container into the artificial hornet's nest, seal the wooden cave door with mud, and let the wasp settle in the new nest.
Lan Jialin said that the wasp's main food is the juice of insects and some trees. These can be seen everywhere in the Woods, and wasps don't need artificial feeding. Just be careful not to let external factors destroy the artificial hornet's nest.
Wasps can't make honey, but only produce pupae with high economic value. When you open the door to get the pupae, don't take all the pupae at once, but leave some pupae for the queen bee to breed. Lan Jialin said that this operation can not only control the disorderly reproduction of wasps, reduce the harm to people and animals, but also maintain ecological balance and increase economic income. In recent years, Lan Jialin has raised more than ten hornets' nests in the mountains near the village, with an annual output of about 1.30 kg, and the average annual income after sale is more than 3,000 yuan. The cadres and the masses in the village all praised Lan Jialin as an expert in raising wasps in the corner of the mountain.
According to the statistics of relevant departments, with the help of Lan Jialin, at present, 65 farmers in 4 towns and villages in Tiane County have artificially dug holes to raise more than 4 10 hornets' nests, with considerable economic benefits.
According to Ding, a senior engineer at Jiangxi Forest Pest Control Station, wasps belong to Vespidae, eat insect carcasses, like sweets, and are interested in domestic garbage such as sugarcane. So many vegetable markets are surrounded by hornets' nests. At the same time, wasps are also very sensitive to air. In recent years, with the improvement of the quality of life in cities, the food sources of wasps are wider and the air quality is improving, so there are more and more wasps nesting under the eaves of residents, as evidenced by the repeated discovery of wasp nests in Nanchang. According to the statistics of Nanchang Environmental Protection Bureau, the excellent rate of air and water quality in this city was above 90% from June 5438 to September. The beauty of the environment has long been known to sensitive insects, and Nanchang has therefore become a "paradise" for many wasps.
The residential area in the city is also a paradise for wasps: first, there is a lot of sweet domestic garbage, and second, the balcony and roof of the house are sheltered from the wind and rain, which is suitable for wasps to live and breed. Therefore, the balconies and eaves of residential buildings have become their new nesting targets. When building a nest, there were very few bees, even only one, but in the breeding period, it will increase sharply, and its nest will naturally become as big as a bucket.
Wasp is a carnivorous insect, belonging to Vespidae and Hymenoptera. There are two common wasps: one is red, yellow or reddish brown, commonly known as long-legged wasp, with a body length of about 20 mm and two long legs dragging behind when flying; The other is yellow, with many black spots or black stripes, commonly known as "little wasp". Judging from the wasp's personality, September in the lunar calendar is the season for wasps to return to their nests, so it is not surprising that the number of wasps' nests in February in the solar calendar 10/1increases.

Bumblebee and hornet's nest
Wasps are beneficial insects, not pests. Wasps are natural enemies of many agricultural and forestry pests, and they can also pollinate crops. Wasps don't die immediately after stinging people. The stings of wasps are different from those of bees. The stings of bees are upside down. After stinging, the sting stays in the human body, so it will die. But the wasp's sting can sting people repeatedly and will not die immediately.
Bumblebees can be used as medicine. Compendium of Materia Medica: "Honeycomb, Yangming medicine also. Surgical dentistry and people who use it to treat other diseases also use it to fight poison with poison and kill insects. " In the view of Chinese medicine, wasps and hornets' nests can attack poison and kill insects, dispel wind and relieve pain. Wasps are edible. It is said that bee pupa is delicious and nutritious, and it is an insect delicacy that people of all ethnic groups in Xishuangbanna like to eat. There are not only various ways to eat, but also recipes such as bee pupa crisp and bee pupa sauce, which are very popular.
According to Dahe Daily, Du Yujie, a peasant woman from Daibai Village, Wayaogou Township, Lushi County, not only likes to poke hornets' nests, but also likes to eat hornets' nests. Anyone who finds a hornet's nest must take it down with his bare hands and have a good meal.

Don't stir up a hornet's nest
Vespidae insects are large insects, thin, yellow and red-black, with black and brown spots and stripes. The chest and abdomen are equal in width. Wings are long and narrow, and fold vertically when resting. The wasp has a slender body, a smooth and hard shell, a well-developed upper jaw, filiform antennae, a spindle-shaped abdomen and pliers at the end. When stinging, it can expel venom for self-defense. Because wasps contain neurotoxicity or blood-borne toxins, they can retaliate strongly and even kill people and animals. Engineer Ding suggested that the public should not poke the hornet's nest at will, so that they can squat down when they are "angry" and never rush to avoid the hornet chasing after them. Engineer Ding told reporters that he witnessed the case of people and buffaloes being stung alive by bees.

What should I do if I get stung
It is understood that wasps generally do not take the initiative to attack people. After being stung, people can use breast milk, essential balm and cool oil to remove bee venom. But when attacked by bees, you should seek medical attention immediately, and you should not take it lightly.
Six strokes to kill the hornet's nest
People often use a hornet's nest to describe a catastrophe. Does it mean that there is no rule of law in a hornet's nest? Some citizens have provided some methods to reporters.
The bravest way: fire attack. When the wasp is unprepared, throw the torch at the hive, and the brave can also put on thick clothes to wrap their heads and fight the wasp directly with the torch.
The most powerful way: water attack. If you aim the high-pressure faucet at the hornet's nest and rush at it crazily, the wasp will surely be defeated, but there will be bees escaping from the net and waiting for revenge.
The most spectacular way: smoke attack. Using smoke from burning grass or rice stalks to repel wasps makes it difficult to distinguish things, and it is bound to flee everywhere, but some people worry that wasps will sting people everywhere after going crazy.
The most vicious way: drug attack. Use dichlorvos or other powerful pesticides to aim at the hornet's nest for a while. After a while, the hornet will definitely die everywhere.
The most dangerous method: cement sealing the nest. When the wasp dozed off, the hornet's nest was built overnight and sealed with cement. After the cement dried, the wasp was suffocated, but the risk index was too high, so no one must have used it.
The safest way: please ask the fire department to handle it. Absolutely clean, no worries.
