NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Gaylord Opryland Resort is home to nine beehives and each year teams work to harvest honey to use across different areas inside the hotel.
The resort’s Food & Beverage team holds an annual time for harvesting once a year in July when honey is harvested from the beehives.
It typically produces about 40 gallons of honey which is then used in food and drink offerings throughout the year.
For people of my generation, in our younger days we spent part of our weekends watching music shows like American Bandstand and Soul Train. That was before the age of music videos. Several years before Soul Train was syndicated out of Chicago, another syndicated R&B show was taped in Nashville at NewsChannel 5. Night Train aired in the 60s and included what may have been the first TV appearance for legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Forrest Sanders has another great look back at station history.
