养蜂人的日子

Beekeeper’s Life

五月,正是槐花盛开的季节,也是放蜂人开始忙碌的季节。这个时节,麦子还没有成熟,不冷也不太热。老方和老张照例拉着他们的蜂箱,来到一处开满槐花的山野里安顿下来。这里离他们的家乡并不太远,蜂箱也拉来不多,先来试试产量。老方和老张是好朋友,两人相隔不远,都是养蜂人,脾气又合得来,所以成了好朋友,放蜂多是两人搭伴儿一起。

May is the season when flowers blossom and beekeepers begin to get busy.In May,the wheat is not ripe yet and the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot.As usual,Mr.Fang and Mr.Zhang carried their beehives around and settled in a field full of flowers of pagoda trees.They are good friends and for most of the beekeeping time they work together as partners.As beekeepers,every year they stay outdoors for nearly half a year.Their life is hard and lonely,but they have become used to the migratory life of beekeeping.
