Getting Honey At The Bee Hive ,Farm Visitation and Coconut Harvesting

It was a lovely day today when we are at the farm visiting again for coconut harvesting. It will be expected to do harvesting activities in two days just as what my Father estimated. Its been already 8 in the morning when we are at the place, the people we hired for getting the coconuts was not been yet but another group of people went and visit our place. I was very surprised for those people who went the farm and asked to get Honey from the big Bee-Hive at the tall tree. My Father told them already and requested to do the said activity but they did not say what day or date they will do it. But since they already at the place, we accepted and grant their request and as for that this kind of job is very dangerous that might sting by bees, so we decided to hide inside the house for safety.

My Father told us to stay alert for the possible aggresive of bees once those men will be at the top of the tree. We create smoke out of dry and green leaves so lots of smoke will come out. The activity was very intense and in single mistake moves, those people at the top of the tree will put in dangerous situations. Aside of that, they also created torch out of leaves and they brought it to the top of the tree. While we kept ourselves hiding inside of the house. It takes almost an hour of smoking the entire place until those bees are flying away from the Hive.

First, they cut and tied up with rope pulling down to the ground in this big Beehive. It is better to cut and pulled it down so it wont be hassle when getting those honey that still and the top of the tree. Second they carefully tied the plastic pail with rope so they can placed those remaining beehive where lots of honeys put. They secured the entire pail by tying with a rope so it wont lean or fall to the ground once the honey cone will put inside the pail.

Next, they carefully pulled up the rope where the pail tied and slowly placed the honey cones where lots of honey can be seen. They Man at the top of the tree did his best to do his job by getting those honey without spilling it to the ground. After a few minutes, the beehive was finally pulled down together with the honey and we felt very happy.

Coconut Harvesting:

We are very thankful for those men by giving us lots of honey, it will be very helpful to us by taking a small amount of honey as vitamins. After that, as the hired men for coconut harvesting has arrived, they hurriedly went to the farm so they can start harvesting the coconuts. Using this wooden cart pulled by the Carabao, we can easily loaded lots of coconuts and travel to other place for selling.

Farm Visit and Exploration:

Next, we still have lots of time waiting for them to fall down those coconuts and while waiting we decided to explored the farm. I was very happy to see my Cacao plants produced lots of cacao fruits. Soon we can make tablea again out of this fruits. We wrapped those small cacao fruits using a piece of small plastic cellophane so harmful insects like wasps cannot damage the fruits. It takes almost half an hoir of doing the job and after that we continued to gathered the coconuts scattered to the ground. Tomorrow we will still doing this the same job and we hope it will finished within two days. Until next post, have a nice day to everyone.
