How have drones not solved this problem yet?

  making a 8-legged drone to spider up a pine tree would be more attainable in reaching those pine cones on thin branches.

  Flying with drones through a tree can be incredibly difficult. Secondly, someone steering a drone will probably not have the same yields as someone climbing. In consequence, this would require the whole drone process to be fully automated. A fully autonomous drone flying through trees recognizing the correct cones and managing to harvest them is even harder. Add the short battery life and I fear the economics simply don't work out.

  Monkeys would be massively cheaper than drones.
