Sometimes I watch videos and it's just nice to see what other beekeepers are doing. But these videos, I'm learning a ton from, every time. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge about trees, Johnny.

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

Thanks so much, Bryan! I really appreciate your support and encouragement! Should have another installment coming up soon! Thanks again buddy!

[@wittencreekbeez9384]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thanks Johnny is good to get to know some things about the trees around us. Until I started with my bees they were trees. No I notice the blooms they I didn’t before. I had a black cherry on a video couple of weeks ago but they ain’t that big. May you be blessed and prosper brother.

It seems keeping bees makes us notice so many more amazing things in nature! Thank you kindly for watching and commenting!

Regarding the honey, Bob Binnie mentions black cherry honey tastes like Robitussen in one of his videos where he discusses Mountain Laurel

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

Very interesting! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

00:03:58 I ain't sticking around till that gets 20" wide😂

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

What's your hurry? 😅

[@swohiobees]

I've got one probably as old as the one you had. It had never gotten cherries until after I got bees.

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

Very cool!

[@taylorboysoutdoors]

My Property is loaded with them Johnny, I've cut and burnt many of them for firewood.

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

Me too. Love the smell of cherry in fire. Thanks so much for watching and commenting Jody!

Great video Johnny! We do thank ya sir for putting the time in to do these videos.
If you can find the "growth rate" on a red cedar shoot me a text. We've look but can't find it in the red cedar. Got one that is 15ft circumference at 4ft, would love to know the age of it.

[@TennesseeMountainBees]

Thank you kindly, Tim! Haven't seen Red Cedar on the growth rate factor charts. However, I've read it is trickier on evergreens but have seen a growth factor estimate of 5 to 7 for cedars depending on site conditions. Gives it a pretty wide range on the estimate of up to 401 years.
