Tree removal close to hive

Tree felling cannot be that difficult.

If your profession is tree felling and transporting, how can you live if you cannot fell trees in half year?

If the farmer is getting people in to do it they will tie upper branches & lower them down, they should know what they are doing, its just a shame they are doing it.

A farmer surely can do it himself. He must do much more difficult jobs every day.

Worst problem is that he hits to his leg with shain chaw. That happens sometimes.

Chopping large trees isnt something many farmers do here, yes if it was a simple felling of a tree but they arent going to climb a tree with ropes & harnesses for a job like this, its a specialised job close to property, they will be covered by insurance, a farmer probably wouldnt be.

Do nothing is then an advice if it is impossible,

If the trees could be felled in one drop onto the farmers land then sawn up once down that would be the quickest and least disruptive process.
A competent guy with a chainsaw could have them down in minutes ( and drop them precisely where he wants them).

And things can go wrong regardless of how competent you are - I think the issue here is that they are so close to other properties that they have no choice but to take them down from the top possibly they are thinking of the possibility of future damage claims if the trees come down into the OP's property. This is 21st century UK you know - where there's blame.......................
as for not doing it in the winter, maybe due to fields being unsuitable for heavy machinery to access?

Strange farmers out there.... 7 reasons why they cannot fell a tree. Insuarance, bats, sap, too big tree, birds not to mention

birds not to mention

The point about birds is a valid one Finman. We have laws that protect birds and other wildlife in the UK http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/69

Er, what have i been saying from the start?

We have too. We have big fights sometimes, can somebody cut their trees from their forest. Very often reasons to protect some area are ridiculous.

 

[Swarm]

Yes but it doesn't stop these laws being blatantly ignored.

Bats have very strong protection in the UK and that's because we have been too successful. Too successful in destroying their roosts, habitat, food souce and navigation features amongst other things. We also use chemicals that affect(?) bats and we keep cats! (Yes, cats do attack bats).

Bats are a good indicator of the general health of "the natural environment" in an area. There may still be large colonies of bats in the UK, but they are not numerous, and they are probably only thriving due to protection!

Nice story about bats, and I believe that story.

If bats die, humankind will die in 4 years.

I do not know, how you keep them alive, but well done so far.

......

Our bats live well without active protection. They live in towns and on countryside.
Mostly they live in buildings.

Ha, ha, but I'm not falling for it! I know it's apocryphal.

I think you should shut them in. Contractors getting stung would make me feel uncomfortable.

I don't think the contractors would be that comfortable with it either
