A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 67: Double yolk eggs
First of all, the mortality rate is indeed much lower.
Only 10% of the bees died in the hive this time.
In addition, after some investigation, Hua Mi discovered two beneficial mutant individuals.
Double yolk egg!
Of course, the probability of finding two out of more than 8,000 is still not high.
But.
Hua Mi was already mentally prepared not to ship, but two came at once, and the contrast brought surprise~
The most obvious feature of the first mutant bee is its large size.
It is larger than the original Chinese bee, with a body length of more than 1.5 cm. The whole body is round and looks very strong, especially the back area between the wing roots and the head, which is much wider than the ordinary bee, and looks like It is full of muscle fibers and looks very resistant.
Correspondingly, its legs and wings are also significantly stronger.
The hair on the body surface is darker.
The moment she established a conscious connection with it, Hua Mi immediately felt its vigorous vitality.
Compared to ordinary Chinese bees, it is not just two or three times, but... close to ten times!
The bee's outstanding physical strength and displayed power made Hua Mi think of a name for it right away - Powerful Bee.
Vigorously works wonders!
Hua Mi first copied the template of this new bee species, then tested it with weights and found that it can carry a maximum weight of 500g!
About 10 eggs - quite an astonishing number.
In fact, the muscle operation efficiency of insects like bees is much higher than that of humans.
Their weight-bearing capacity may be beyond most people’s awareness——
An ordinary little bee can hold up objects equivalent to 300 times its own weight.
If compared to humans, this achievement would be equivalent to one person dragging a large truck.
The mutated giant bee has even better weight-bearing capabilities.
It’s just that when it carries a load of 500g, it basically can’t fly anymore, which is an ideal limit situation.
Of course, for humans, 500g is just that, not worth mentioning.
But don’t forget, bees are typical social animals. They never rely on individual combat power, but on the entire colony.
The maximum weight of a powerful bee is 500g. What about the combined force of a group of powerful bees?
Assuming a bee colony with 10,000 bees, the theoretical load limit of this powerful bee colony is 5 tons!
Although in actual operation, since the direction of force of each bee will inevitably deviate, it is impossible to force force in one direction perfectly, which will result in the load limit not being as high as in theory.
But even after shrinking, it is still a very impressive number.
No problem transporting most heavy objects.
Even if the actual weight is reduced by ten times, it is still 500kg, which can easily lift a person.
I have always complained that walking in the forest is inconvenient without transportation tools.
With Popeye, can we take off?
Thinking of this, Hua Mi is looking forward to it.
In addition to the most obvious characteristics of large size, high physical strength, and great strength.
Another advantage of the giant bee is that its honey sac is large, more than twice that of the ordinary Chinese bee.
A large honey sac means that more nectar can be carried at one time, and the efficiency of nectar collection becomes higher.
This new bee species has advantages in both combat and honey collection.
The only regret is that there are no poison glands and pincers.
The combat effectiveness has been weakened.
However, God closed one door for it and opened another, wider door. This wave of evolution is not a loss at all.
Hua Mi selected an ordinary Chinese bee colony and injected it into the vigorous bee template.
Then the swarm began to return to the nest and transform into cocoons.
【Big Bee】
Derived from the mutation of the Chinese honey bee, its body size is about 1.5 times that of the ordinary Chinese honey bee. The hair is black, its vitality is significantly enhanced, and its body strength, especially the strength of its legs, wings and other parts, has been greatly improved.
The honey sac is more than twice that of the ordinary Chinese bee, has no venom glands, and no pincers, and its speed is slower than that of the ordinary Chinese bee...
[Lifespan: 0.9]
[Fecundity: 1.3]
[Productivity: 2]
[Attack power: 2.5]
[Defense: 3]
[Vitality: 10]
[Speed: 0.8]
Collection ability: 1.8.
Combat ability: 6.
This is the only bee species he has cultivated so far that has no shortcomings.
The combat effectiveness and collection ability are both good.
Comprehensive consideration of lifespan and reproductive capacity mainly affects the number of bees contained in a bee colony when it reaches dynamic stability, as well as the ability to resist risks in a natural state. Of course, the higher the value, the better.
0.9 vs. 1.3, according to experience, it is almost a swarm of 15,000 individuals, which is considered a relatively strong swarm.
"If I have to say, the only thing that needs to be improved on the Megabee is the speed. You can try to cross it with the Swift Bee to see if you can improve the speed of the Megabee without affecting other traits."
Based on previous experience, if you want to only increase speed without affecting other traits, the probability of success is relatively low.
But it's worth a try.
As there are more and more bee species, Hua Mi plans to give these bee species a grade.
Take ordinary Chinese bees as [Level 1 bees].
Forest Bees, Pain Bees, and Armored Bees are [Level 2 Bees].
The Armored Swift Bee and the Ring-cutting Bee are [Level 3 Bees].
The newly released Powerful Bee can be rated as a [Level 4 Bee].
As for the other mutant bee, it is more bizarre than the simple and crude type like the powerful bee.
The size of this bee has not changed much, and is about the same size as Apis cerana.
The tops of the two tentacles emit a faint white light, which is very weak. There are only two small white dots in the dark environment. You can't see it unless you look carefully.
The villi on the body surface are shorter, harder, and denser.
Other than that, there is no difference from the Chinese bee.
The honey sacs, poison glands, and pincers in the body have not mutated either.
The wonderful thing about it is that it can feed back its perception of the surrounding environment to Hua Mi!
Perception here includes smell, vision and hearing.
Don’t underestimate the perception ability of bees.
Bees can perceive and understand their environment several times faster than humans.
Research shows that bees rely on their antennae for their sense of smell, and their resolving power is 800 times that of humans, and they can detect extremely small molecular concentrations.
Vision relies on a pair of compound eyes and three single eyes sandwiched in a triangle. The single eye is mainly used to assist the compound eye in better distinguishing the light and dark objects. It can even see ultraviolet light.
There are also receptors distributed throughout the body that are responsible for receiving sounds from the surrounding environment. At the same time, the fluff on the body also plays a role in sensing air vibrations.
In short, bees are creatures that are very sensitive to stimuli from the surrounding environment.
This mutant bee’s perception has been further enhanced and can be shared with its owner.
Hua Mi controlled the mutant bee to fly outside, and then chose to connect to its senses.
The moment the connection was established, my eyes blurred.
The scene in the field of vision is covered with a purple scene, look for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com The two scenes overlapped.
There was also a suddenly aggravated smell, as well as some additional slow and low noises, which made Hua Mi feel dizzy and nauseated for a moment.
He hurriedly closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to allow himself to slowly adapt.
After closing your eyes, you can only see the bee's field of vision.
I thought that the compound eye effect would show many small grids, but unexpectedly, there were not. There was a complete and coherent scene in the field of vision.
The viewing angle is much wider than that of humans, reaching more than 300 degrees. You can see behind you with a slight turn, and there are almost no blind spots.
However, compared to humans, it can distinguish fewer colors, so the hue in the field of vision is more bluish-purple, which is relatively monotonous.
Only the scene within about ten meters can be seen, and the scene further away is blurry.
As for the slow and low noise in the ears, it should be infrasound waves that are inaudible to human ears.
Bees can capture low-frequency sounds below 20HZ.
In fact, compared to vision and hearing, his ability to smell surprised him even more.
Under the bee's sensory state, he can distinguish extremely subtle smells and accurately locate the direction and distance. He is simply better than a dog's nose.
After testing, as the distance between bees increases, the shared sensory capabilities will not weaken. As long as it is within the control range, the signal is always received clearly.
"This kind of bee can be used for tracking and reconnaissance... let's just call it a scout bee."
Why not call it a tracking bee?
Because Scout Bee sounds better.
This bee species is quite special and does not require templates to create an entire bee colony.
Only one or a few scout bees are enough.
After all, you can only share one sense at a time. If you have more, it will cause overlapping and confusion of senses.
