Did I lose another honey bee hive? Farm Vlog #3

What happens here

The farmer justifies his decision to cut trees, anticipating potential criticism. He explains that the current forest consists of overcrowded, unmanaged pine trees leading to a 'domino effect' where weak trees fall and take others down. He states that proper forest management involves thinning and harvesting trees, which can also yield some economic return to fund other farm improvements like new equipment. He re-emphasizes his right as a landowner to manage his property to his benefit, stressing that these actions are part of responsible forestry. He also briefly shows his dog playing near a chicken coop.

Goal: The farmer provides his rationale for extensive tree cutting, focusing on forest health, economic benefits, and landowner autonomy. This is a general discussion of forestry practices, not specific to pollinator habitat design.

close to the driveway so I get a lot of flack from people about cutting trees you know a lot of folks just think that every tree should be left alone in every forest and just let nature take its course I understand that a person who owns land is going to properly manage their forest because it just makes sense it just costs too much to not do that why not cut trees you know why is Josh cutting his trees then you need to think to yourself that these are my trees and I'm going to cut them because I want to so there's nothing you can do merkon alright so once again this is Josh Stoney Ridge farmer thanks for watching just checking out the bees there see if they were living and show you a little bit in the woods what's going on probably in two weeks they'll be out here cutting trees and we'll get some awesome video footage of that and we'll actually talk to you a little bit about forestry too so thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe to the channel we'll talk to you soon
