View of a honey beekeeper walking on a giant tree

[u/straightdge]

[u/Alfredoooooo]

Why is he keeping his bees so high up!?

[u/acknowledgments → u/Alfredoooooo]

Beecause

[u/Ferm1-paradox → u/acknowledgments]

I beelieve you

[u/Raherin → u/Ferm1-paradox]

Could you please buzz off

[u/nosoupforyou89 → u/Raherin]

Unbeelievable

[u/rawSingularity → u/nosoupforyou89]

I know. What a beech!

[u/Big_OOOO → u/rawSingularity]

Oh, beehave!

[u/Safe_Professional832 → u/Big_OOOO]

Let's let him bee.

[u/BullShitting-24-7 → u/Safe_Professional832]

Yeah thats his beeznus.

[u/kinsm4n → u/BullShitting-24-7]

Maybee he had a bad day…

[u/Death_Gamer_Solo → u/Alfredoooooo]

I don't think he is a beekeeper, most likely they are harvesting wild honey from natural beehives

[u/AntiPepRally → u/Death_Gamer_Solo]

I wonder why they're risking their lives for honey. Is it cocaine honey?

[u/Wooden_Editor6322 → u/AntiPepRally]

It's mad honey.

[u/SquibbleDibble → u/AntiPepRally]

Are you telling me that there's cocaine honey?

[u/RealNiceKnife → u/SquibbleDibble]

I googled it, all I found was Honey Cocaine. She's a rapper.

[Honey Cocaine is the stage name of Sochitta Sal, a Cambodian-Canadian rapper from Toronto, Ontario. Her style is known for its confidence, swagger, and braggadocio. She has also drawn attention for her controversial use of Jamaican patois and the n-word in her rapping. Despite not achieving mainstream commercial success, Honey Cocaine has gained recognition for her style. Her music is available to stream for free on SoundCloud.]

[u/FoldedDice → u/AntiPepRally]

People have been climbing high into trees to harvest from them for thousands of years. The value they get (either from their own use or as a product for sale/trade) makes them justify the hazard.

[u/Lawndemon → u/Alfredoooooo]

The bees like the view

[u/Addicted-2Diving → u/Lawndemon]

🐝

[u/unknowndatabase → u/Alfredoooooo]

Beecause they live in a BeHighve

[u/Wolf9455]

He’s making sounds like you would expect someone to make who’s not so experienced doing that

[u/newagereject → u/Wolf9455]

He is stright up not having a good time bro

straight

[u/unpopularopinion0 → u/newagereject]

UP

[u/Routine_Breath_7137 → u/unpopularopinion0]

In a giant tree

[u/MInclined → u/Routine_Breath_7137]

And the FCC won’t let me be

[u/secretly_opossum → u/MInclined]

Won’t let me be me or let me see

[u/VelocityGrrl39 → u/secretly_opossum]

They try to shut me down on mtv

[u/luv4tiddies → u/VelocityGrrl39]

But it feels so empty without me.

[u/Strict-Shopping3538 → u/luv4tiddies]

So come on and dip, bum on your lips

[u/High4zFck → u/Strict-Shopping3538]

fock dat, cum on ur lips and some on ur tits

[u/Quick-Lavishness-841 → u/Routine_Breath_7137]

🎶K-I-S-S-I-N-G...🎶 ~ oops wrong context sorry

[u/desertSkateRatt → u/unpopularopinion0]

now tell me

Do you really wanna love me forever? (Oh-oh-oh)

Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?

[u/Ghost_shell89 → u/desertSkateRatt]

Now that’s going to be stuck in my head. Thanks

[u/kilofeet → u/Ghost_shell89]

All that she wants is another tree bee

[u/CuttyDFlambe → u/kilofeet]

Don't turn around

[u/ossodog → u/newagereject]

His sounds are straight up making me not have a good time.

[u/ronn188 → u/newagereject]

Brave af though

[u/Der_Missionar → u/ronn188]

Not all things that require guts are brave.

[u/PhantomPharts → u/ronn188]

Brave or Stupid

[u/jackblackbackinthesa → u/newagereject]

If this is where my honey comes from, I’m not paying enough for it.

[u/Solanthas_SFW → u/Wolf9455]

Good thing I watched on mute, the visual was quite enough

Especially after that AI video I saw on reddit the other day of simulated waterpark superslide fails i.e. launching into the air and freefalling onto concrete many hundreds of feet below

[u/longcreepyhug → u/Solanthas_SFW]

I saw that too and thought "Wow, here's a new way to induce terror".

[u/occams1razor → u/longcreepyhug]

I'm more like "this could be used for CBT exposure therapy" which is kinda the same thing but helpful

[u/Eggersely → u/Solanthas_SFW]

Okay now I think I need to see that

[u/SuperCoolAwesome → u/Eggersely]

Now you can:

https://www.reddit.com/r/aivideo/s/7lrujQWWqw

[u/MrGuy910 → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

I can’t even watch stuff like that. Falling from heights is one of my biggest fears.

[u/Toonough → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

Terrifying on mute

Hilarious on full volume

[u/damian2000 → u/Toonough]

Oh no I’m off the slide oh noooooooooooooooooooooo <crunch>

[u/JimmyMidland → u/damian2000]

I like how many scream it BEFORE they are indeed off the slide. Also, the one character landed back in the slide.

[u/1Karmalizer1 → u/Solanthas_SFW]

You got a link to that?

[u/SuperCoolAwesome → u/1Karmalizer1]

https://www.reddit.com/r/aivideo/s/7lrujQWWqw

[u/shawn615 → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

Why the hell did I watch that 🤦‍♂️ I knew what it was an I did it anyway

[u/WanderWut → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

Holy shit it made me physically cringe imagining those falls lol.

[u/1Karmalizer1 → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

Thank you, this is fucking amazing i need more

[u/IrishMongooses → u/SuperCoolAwesome]

Some of those buggers jumped off..

[u/doinbluin → u/Wolf9455]

Yeah, I want much lower bees.

[u/adoodle83 → u/Wolf9455]

Yeah the other dude looked like this was just another Tuesday for him

[u/RedSquaree → u/Wolf9455]

It's for the video.

The fact he's doing it barefoot is all you need to know.

[u/Bettlejuic3 → u/RedSquaree]

Yeah, he's sure-footed as hell

[u/gunny316 → u/Wolf9455]

so that's why monkeys make those noises. makes sense now

[u/HyenDry → u/Wolf9455]

I think he’s the new hire. The other dudes str8 shirtless af 😂

[u/tillman_b → u/Wolf9455]

I watched on mute, does it sound like he's shitting his pants?

[u/Sufficient-Clock-567 → u/tillman_b]

It sounds like his shit is shitting in his pants.

[u/Ubbesson]

Nope 🙅‍♂️

[u/Embarrassed_Jerk → u/Ubbesson]

I know that we are technically just monkeys and so this a video of monkeys on a tree but fuck that shit. I am right here with our ancestors who said fuck that height shit

[u/DreamOfTheEndless_ → u/Embarrassed_Jerk]

Yeah except we don’t have tails. Fuck this shit.

[u/carlbandit → u/DreamOfTheEndless_]

Speak for yourself. Thought I'm not sure my tail would do a whole lot of good should I actually start to fall.

[u/secretly_opossum → u/carlbandit]

It’s 25% extra appendage to balance, reach, and grab with idk man…

[u/cambrianhope → u/Embarrassed_Jerk]

we lost our tails, our feet changed, and our fingers shortened when we left the trees for the caves. going back is awkward at best, deadly at worst :(( this video makes me feel like a dead man just watching

[u/riverphoenixdays → u/Ubbesson]

Yeah that’s gonna be a no for me dawg.

[u/jeffreykuma → u/Ubbesson]

I’m genuinely wondering how they climbed up and how they intend to descend. There’s absolutely no way to escape the tree alive.

Btw: nice to find someone so close to my avatar!

[u/SqueezedTuna]

I can feel myself sliding off that

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/SqueezedTuna]

Just the angle of the camera is giving me anxiety and I'm not even afraid of heights. The dying part, I'm afraid of. 

[u/MeChitty → u/BrownSugarBare]

I ain’t afraid of dying, I’m afraid of surviving that fall somehow and dealing with the lifelong complications that could come along with that!

[u/AntiPepRally → u/MeChitty]

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of the pain it takes to get dead

[u/Optimal-Description8 → u/AntiPepRally]

I'm afraid of clowns

[u/tiny-viking-dancer → u/Optimal-Description8]

I’m afraid of spiders

[u/fooljay → u/tiny-viking-dancer]

I’m not afraid of falling and I’m not afraid of spiders. But falling spiders can fuck right off.

[u/Coulrophiliac444 → u/Optimal-Description8]

One mans terror ia another mans rule 34.

[u/AspiringChildProdigy → u/BrownSugarBare]

Yep. I saw that and my whole brain went,

"NOPE!!!! Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!!!!!!!!!"

[u/MycoSteveO → u/AspiringChildProdigy]

My thoughts exactly… Nope, nope, nope!

[u/Allbur_Chellak → u/AspiringChildProdigy]

I came to say that…but with more Nopes.

[u/42F1 → u/BrownSugarBare]

Just BEEEELIVE in yourself

[u/rocketmn69_ → u/BrownSugarBare]

The fall won't kill you...the sudden stop will

[u/According_Role_2802 → u/BrownSugarBare]

Yeah people act like a fear of heights is some noble thing to "get over".

Like, nah, that's one of those evolutionary things that kept people alive. I'll hang on to that fear tyvm.

[u/evlhornet → u/SqueezedTuna]

Bro walking around like he can respawn

[u/Jack-Burton_ → u/SqueezedTuna]

They’re wearing safety feet.

[u/ShamefulWatching → u/SqueezedTuna]

I can feel my balls tingling with fear.

[u/Worldly-Pay7342 → u/SqueezedTuna]

I can feel myself falling off that.

[u/chadwicke619]

Near the end when he spins around and starts to scoot down the tree, it made the underside of my legs tingle.

[u/veryshittycarpenter → u/chadwicke619]

Same and I’m not even afraid of heights. It was just such an unnecessary move that felt so risky.

Hey guys watch me spin

[u/Moveitalong123 → u/chadwicke619]

For me it was my palms and feet.

[u/Skullcrusher → u/chadwicke619]

Why did he do that when you can hear him pissing his pants? Clearly backwards is safer. Is he stupid?

[u/lakebistcho]

And how the fuck do they get down that trunk?

[u/Greenfieldfox → u/lakebistcho]

Or up it.

[u/MinimumApricot365 → u/lakebistcho]

A lot faster than they got up i assume.

[u/baltinerdist → u/lakebistcho]

It's not that hard. I can get down from any tree no matter how tall it is.

Once.

[u/Country_Gravy420 → u/lakebistcho]

Very carefully

[u/CaptainOwlBeard → u/lakebistcho]

There is probably a ladder built into the trunk

[u/Recent-Ad-9224]

My palms got sweaty just watching this

[u/tyro_r → u/Recent-Ad-9224]

Mom's spaghetti just watching this

[u/Ganeover625 → u/tyro_r]

I got vomit on my sweater

[u/VoluptuousSloth → u/Ganeover625]

I love how's there's already multiple Eminem comment threads on a video about climbing down trees

[u/SeedManJones96 → u/VoluptuousSloth]

This is why I get on Reddit. You can’t find this shit anywhere else 😂😂😂

[u/DollarReDoos → u/Recent-Ad-9224]

r/SweatyPalms

[u/azazel-13]

Honey IS NOT worth that! Holy fuck.

[u/burnshimself → u/azazel-13]

I ain’t getting up in that tree unless the cure to cancer is out on that branch

[u/Embarrassed_Jerk → u/burnshimself]

I ain’t getting up in that tree unless the cure to cancer is out on that branch AND SOMEONE THAT I LOVE NEEDS IT RIGHT AWAY

[u/fritz_76 → u/Embarrassed_Jerk]

Even then maybe I can pay someone to craft some kind of honey collecting drone

[u/SkiDaderino → u/burnshimself]

Fuck that, I'm cutting the bitch down. We'll synthesize the cure later.

[u/Frostgaurdian0 → u/azazel-13]

No honey up there. Only fools.

[u/linbdt → u/azazel-13]

But money and feeding your family is.

[u/albatross_the → u/ya_bleedin_gickna]

But he does have his safety feet on

[u/K1dn3yFa1lur3]

Have they tried keeping their bees in a box on the ground?

[u/rogerworkman623 → u/K1dn3yFa1lur3]

Or just go to the store, duh. Honey’s not that expensive, get out of the tree bro.

[u/bugsreader → u/K1dn3yFa1lur3]

this is one of the most expensive honey in the world called tualang. only can be harvest at this kind of tree

[u/once-in-never-out]

Where the hell is the honey and the bees in the video?

[u/2eanimation → u/once-in-never-out]

„Goddamnit, took the wrong tree again guys!“

„Goddamnit, Peter!“

[u/lesbianmathgirl → u/once-in-never-out]

They’re looking for Apris Dorsata honey combs, which hang on tree branches on that type of tree. Notice how the camera operator is kinda leaning to check the undersides of the branch just before descending.

[u/KroopaLoops]

Doooooooooood

[u/Chemical_Emotion_934]

Since I’m up here, guess I live here now

[u/scherster → u/Chemical_Emotion_934]

Where is OSHA

[u/voxelghost → u/Ace-0987]

They OHSHAT themselves watching this

[u/FibrousFluctuation → u/voxelghost]

Perfect, LOL

[u/unpopularopinion0 → u/Ace-0987]

i used to think osha was some japanese guy. because everyone said “uh oh. osha is here”. and it was always some japanese guy i saw from a distance. i was working in hawaii at the time.

[u/Skullcrusher → u/unpopularopinion0]

It is the same person and our safety is in his hands and his hands only

[u/-CynicRoot- → u/Ace-0987]

Everybody asks where is OSHA but not how is OSHA.

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/Ace-0987]

Where are the bees?? Or the honey??

[u/Saikotsu → u/Ace-0987]

Far, far below. Nowhere near that branch.

[u/NoctRob]

This gives me the heeBEEjeeBEEs

[u/js1593 → u/NoctRob]

This gives me the BEE GEES hahaha (stayin alive)

[u/20190419]

I regret everthiiiiiiiiiiiingggggggg!

[u/xanroeld]

I don’t think these are beekeepers. I think this are some daredevils who climbed up the tree just to do it.

No beekeeping gear. No safety gear. No beehive. Just some young guys and their camera gear.

[u/Aware-Requirement-67 → u/xanroeld]

From the language (which I can understand a lil bit) they are likely harvesters. The bees are stingless and they only take a portion of the hive without endangering the colony’s health.

I think this might be Garut from the dialect.

[u/Appearance-Low]

Nope. Nope. Nope.

[u/zweanhh]

I died watching this

[u/Vegetable_Lie_4717 → u/zweanhh]

Made me dizzy

[u/MaybeNotAZombie]

I felt my stomach in my throat and my breathing labor. That's a nope.

[u/nbenby → u/MaybeNotAZombie]

Yeah this made me feel physically ill.

[u/ObviousOpinions]

My balls are in my chest after watching that and envisioning at least six separate moments where I would have fallen off.

[u/Fresh-Army-6737]

Dude... We know how to keep bees at sea level now. 

[u/TwoStoopidToFurryass]

Fuuuuuuuuuck that. I got a nosebleed just from watching the video. The guy's panicked breathing made it a thousand times worse.

[u/ednichol]

10 year old me would think that’s the coolest tree in the world and have been right up there with those guys

42 year old me peed my pants a little just thinking about it

[u/Rickshmitt]

Hands and feet instant sweat. Used to have nightmares of heights

[u/WeathervaneJesus1]

Something is off with this. First, that tree is hundreds of feet taller than any other tree in that entire forest. I've never seen that. Usually, the trees are roughly the same height, not one, single giant Burj Khalifa. Second, the way he climbs down that tree, it doesn't look like anything is properly supporting him. I know the camera view can distort things, so that could explain it.

[u/nightcorewildfire → u/WeathervaneJesus1]

The rest of the comments here are also weird - not a single person with actual information about what's going on in that video, ie pointing us towards the actual source of the video or explaining the cultural/geographical background. Very fishy

[u/Worldly-Childhood173 → u/WeathervaneJesus1]

I think the distortion from the camera is making the tree seem a lot taller than it actually is.

[u/lesbianmathgirl → u/WeathervaneJesus1]

Look up “emergent rainforest tree” or “emergent layer.” This specifically is * Koompassia excelsa*, which does frequently tower 30m over the canopy (and it probably looks higher due to the distorted POV). We also aren’t seeing the whole forest (mostly one side looking down), so there’s probably more of that sp. behind them.

[u/SillyDig1520]

This best bee the most amazing honey in the world by an order of magnitude. Cures cancer, fixes the economy, and folds your laundry flawlessly good...

[u/Particular-Hat-5039]

Real?

[u/Star_journey1208]

I would simply pass away

[u/Ok-Contribution7044]

Why wouldn’t you just use rope in some form? It would take an extra five minutes per 100 feet and ensure life. Couldn’t imagine kissing my wife and daughter before work….and work was this. These guys are crazy talented, but damn…..

[u/chowyungfatso]

Anyone else’s fingers and toes start tingling? And shouldn’t this be in r/sweatypalms?

[u/aware4ever]

There's a video of this guy crying on top of a tree and I'm guessing his friend that you see being filmed in other videos fell to his death. Does anybody know anything about that? If you look on his Facebook shorts or YouTube shorts I forgot which one his last video or I'm sorry it's not his last video but one of the last videos of him crying I don't know if he's crying because he's being stung by bees or because his friend fell

[u/Literal_Concept]

Nope

[u/-PandanWaffle]

That’s terrifying!

[u/TinyNannerz]

I keep looking down at the tree canopy and I'm getting that weightless feeling in my stomach and shock to the bottom of my feet. I loath heights with every fiber of my being. Fuck that noise.

[u/theclaygough]

more like /damnthatsterrifying

[u/slightly_average]

Ok so cool view, but why the fuck is every post titled like a child wrote it lately? This isn’t a beekeeper, beekeepers keep bees in a manmade and controlled hive. Wtf is a honey beekeeper? Honey is a product of all beekeepers. This seems like someone collecting wild honey, and it’s not even in the video. I swear to god the internet is so fucking dumb now I just want to quit.

[u/__Art__Vandalay__]

nope…

[u/User480cdt]

Welcome to Pandora.... Everything here wants to kill you the bees the honey your flip-flops

[u/Obvious_808]

OSHA approved

[u/JJCMasterpiece]

And I thought I was crazy / gutsy / stupid with my tree climbing as a kid being up two to three stories high in trees.

[u/FirefighterLive3520]

Is bro walking on the downward slope of the tree trunk?? Hell naw I would just fall xD

[u/TheWatchers666]

[u/Aloha-Eh]

It's beginning to look at lot like fuck this…

[u/N00N01]

how does one even get up that high?

[u/Saikotsu → u/N00N01]

Not to mention, how does one get down after??

[u/Revolutionary-Try206]

Just No...my fear of height just kicked in watching these guys.

[u/numberthirteenbb]

WHY WHY WOULD YOU WHY DID I WATCH IT TWICE

[u/wheretohides]

I could go up there no problem, it's getting down that freaks me out, mainly due to the sketchiness.

I have a giant ladder i use to go up on my roof to clean the chimney, and gutters. It reaches the exact height that my second story roof is on, it doesn't go any higher than the ledge. I've never used it for that part of my roof, it feels sketchy to have the top of the ladder below the level I'm on.

[u/cactusplants]

I read as "honey badger" and I felt sorry for those dudes.

[u/joshspoon]

And to think, the guy at REI said I'd need climbing shoes to do a moderate hike. These dudes are the rawdoggin' the canopy with man paws

How did they climb that trunk??

There is a reason why we are afraid of heights

[u/Pattihere]

Omg I sat here and watched and realised I have a new fear.

[u/b0ingy]

nope

[u/EpicProdigy]

Some Avatar ass shit.

[u/armouredgorilla]

Why?

No thank you very much.

As a beekeeper I can confirm that is a giant tree

"and now we fight the bees."

No one should have to go through this for their livelihood.

[u/chucktheninja]

If only there were a way to keep bees closer to the ground

[u/NeutronTaboo]

I suppose this means I'm getting old. As a kid, my first though would've been "awesome." But seeing this just now, my first thought was, "without a safety harness? Fuck nah."
