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.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
