[@alankahn5209]

You are sincerely gaining in soul touching artistry, documenting so much more than your work with bees, but rather something deeply important about Americana, family and friendship as it stands in 2022, which I wish more people could see. You deserve a lot of credit for the hard work and thought you put into your work and your tremendous works of art that you call a simple video edit. I’d put this up against a first year UCLA film school student reel any day.

the photography shows how life really is in some parts of the world. as a northerner, i have never been south beyond maryland and florida. even when we had a pit stop in georgia i never left the airport. so i never got to see how people lived outside my own environment. these still lifes really bring a piece of your world into mine and showcases places, situations that are similar but also things i haven't seen before. so thank you for that mini vacation.

Bees love Hemp plants, and that's way better than being a drunk, or drinking that nasty ass beer and liquor.

[@miask]

I too love you’re photography as much as your bee removal. You document so much more than bee removal. Through you, we get to see the sad story of the American South and much of America in general. It’s a sad story, one where we are all characters. I’ve got to ask a question. Has anyone heard the old wives tale where when a bee comes around you-you say I have no news-? The strangest thing is, the bees do go away! I have bright pink garden gloves that attract bumble bees. They usually land on them, I let them set a bit, then I’ll say thanks for visiting, but I have no news and every time they go! I think it has to do with the saying-busy bee-I just can’t be the only one who’s heard this…🐝

I edited out a little more commentary along those lines. I figured enough people would be butt hurt about my weed comments. I've worked in rough areas all my adult life so it's nothing new to me but most people would be very hesitant to work in a place where there was a shooting the same day. That has been the scenario twice this year alone. One of those instances was in the same apartment complex that's in this video. On this job there were a couple of guys eyeballing my truck when I got there on the second day. I made a comment about being safe and watching your vehicle but decided to cut it out.

First off, love the channel/content dude. That was quite the opinion piece on people that use cannabis though. I've been following you for years and I never thought you would be so short sighted. I have a Ph.D in Astrobiology with a double major in linguistics and biochemistry, I'm a life long vocational academic, and, regular cannabis user. My life is not negatively affected by said use, but enriched, as are the lives of many dedicated and hard working people I'm fortunate to know. These people are, smart enough to choose the lesser harmful of two inebriants that we humans entertain commonly. I'd implore you to re-evaluate your views on "potheads" and perhaps you'll see that laziness and stupidity are inherent human characteristics.........

When I was young, I became a single mother. The baby's dad and I planned to get married after I finished LPN school. School really caused me to mature. One day he asked me if I believed in God. I grew up in church, so my answer was yes and I believe in Jesus. Unfortunately he told me he did not believe. I wasn't serving God, but I knew etter than being unequally yoked. So, I got a rent subsidized apartment for the rest of nursing school. It was a nice place unlike some in the bad communities. I worked as a LPN until I became a business owner. I gave my life to the Lord at 29 years old, and raized my daughter alone.

[@beckyshell4649]

There is so much waste that happens in this country. The school could have been used for low-cost housing, community center, or many other things. The only thing with low-income housing is that it can and does attract undesirable people then the desirable people don't want to live there . The place gets run down because tenants don't take care of it then the landlord doesn't do maintenance because it will only get broke again. I think government housing should be stringent, drug tests, regular home inspections, and requirements for community service, grounds work, light maintenance, and trash pick up. I also think there should be a heavy police presence but not in the wrong way. What I mean is community meetings with tenants, dropping by to play ball with kids. An ounce of prevention goes a long way.
