Jack would make one hell of a great addition to the bee expo. A presentation on identifying major honey plants would be worth the ticket alone. Your comment about finding new sourwood in the Autumn by leaf colour is money. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.
And Jack has such an easy voice to listen to. His knowledge is incredible.
I definitely would go to one of his sessions.
My dad was a botanist and he loved to go on hikes with the local nature center.
He had a line of Trilliums surrounding his house. And those are notoriously difficult to grow.
We lost him in 2019 and I do so miss those times.
I would love to lissen to this man at the konferens,
Kamon Reynolds might lissen to you Bob, if you tell he's good ! Love to learn more about plants and trees for bees.

Bob your friendship with Jack is something we all seek. The forest that surrounds has shown to us all how much your friendship has grown over time. From the towering majestic oaks watching over you to the small saplings sourwood germinating in the poorest of soils. You show us what the richness of rare friendships can create. They don’t need much just an appreciation and mutual respect and with the passing of time flourish and provide the sweetest of treats. Thanks mate for showing us around. Wayne from Australia.
Thanks for the kind words.
Wow he’s a plant encyclopedia. What a resource. Have him on more often please.
Good idea. I thought I would get him back in the spring.
What a pleasing, informative walk on your property. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and for the tour of your property !
What a beautiful place Bob. No matter what subject of video you do, you make it interesting. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your property Bob, kind of you to show us around.
very personal and lovely video. Thank you. I was a member in American Magnolia Society many years ago. I cultivate 15 or more Manolia trees. And big leaf Rhododendrons Rex
The best friend comment had me choked up .
Thanks for all your videos, Bob. You could talk about what you had for breakfast and it would be interesting and entertaining. Thanks again!
Great video, Bob. Being a beekeeper is like becoming a botanist.
What a fantastic video! Amazing amount of knowledge, I kept worrying the video was going end, and indeed I could listen to Jack and Bob share for a long time.
Please put Jack on again, he is pleasant to listen to, he rivals you Bob😊
Thanks. We'll probably do spring plants next year too.
This is probably my Favorite Video of yours, excellent stuff, thank you. Lots of knowledge between you two.
Very informative video. You have a very beautiful place, Bob. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty cool and a great neighbor to have, too. I live in the mountains as well and there is nothing like it. Thanks for the tour. God bless!
Very nice Bob! Thanks for the tour and information.
Thank you. Very informative and super. Jim
Thank you for showing us your place .
I enjoyed and have learned alot and become more comfortable with my bees from your videos and hope to visit you in 2024 for 10 nuts all way from robertsdale
Thanks for the video Bob. It was interesting to hear Jack talk about plants and get a glimpse into the Binnie homestead.
You have been blessed with a great friend and neighbor, a beautiful homesite and your love of bees and nature. Thank you for sharing your home and your knowledge with us.
Awesome video thanks for sharing. You Have a beautiful place and view.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience , Bob and Jack
Bob you have Sourwood trees at your house like I have Black Berries, thanks for another very informative video.😁
Looks like ya got your ears lowered, wife tell it was a time for a haircut.😂
Yes, she's the one who cuts it.
Jack is a very knowledgeable man, you are blessed to have him as a close friend. Great video Bob. God bless!
Thanks 👍
My favorite video yet.
You have such a beautiful place and blessed to have it and a wonderful neighbor! You're taking care of the pollinators, and he's taking care of the plants.
God bless you both!

Sunday morning coffee in the Appalachians with some knowledgeable hosts. What a beautiful world..
Another awesome video.
Thanks for the tour
Thank you for sharing! Very nice!
Your neighbor is a great source for plant information isn’t he. Great to learn from and hear.
Stay well & safe. Thanks for sharing! - Tom
Beautiful views, Bob!
As a forester, and a beekeeper, I found this a very good interview with Jack. I've always found sourwood in early successional regeneration, such as more open shelterwood cuts. Thanks for another good video.
Wonderful video, Bob!
Jack has a great narrator or MC voice!
Sure did enjoy this video so much knowledge thank you would like to see Jack on some more videos thank you for sharing
I hope to have him on more. Thanks.
GREAT video, Thanks!
It's pleasure to watch Sunday morning King Bob's video
God bless
Excellent video nice to touch topics that effect our bees. Maybe find a flower person that can speak on native ground cover? Thanks again
thanks for sharing -really interesting
Bob, thanks for sharing
Gr8 vidéo… thanks for sharing…
Great video Bob, very interesting. You are a hardworking man and I commend you for that! Your neighbor is very knowledgeable, thanks for giving us a glimpse into your personal life and your beautiful property. Best wishes for the honey harvest and your continuing success. Thanks again for another great video!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing Bob. I enjoy watching a story of land stewardship. Hopefully we have enough folks making our own pieces of earth better than how we found it. Kevin
Redmond Linden trees would be a great addition if you had a spot for them. Either way you have a beautiful place sir.
Great video
Great video!
you need to have him on more
See if Jack might want to plant a few heptacodium miconioides (Seven Sons Flower) for you. Fantastic trees that bloom late in the year (currently blooming in Portland, OR 8b). Great source of nectar & pollen. Very fragrant.
beautiful yard
Great video, am a tree nut myself, very interesting
Who but Bob Binnie would have had the forethought to select as his neighbor an amateur botanist whose expertise rivals that of a PhD? Bob, you think of everything! 😉
But seriously Bob, this week’s video is another tour de force. I learned much from your backyard ramble with your best friend and neighbor, Jack.
Kudos to both of you, and I look forward to future opportunities to tap into Jack’s knowledge of plants that have significance for my honeybees.

It was luck and yes I'll try to have him on more. Thanks.
This was very good Bob. Glad to see you with your best friend. He is very informative. So smart. I learned alot about trees today. Thanks buddy!
You're neighbors knowledge of all the plants and trees is mind blowing... 🤯 This was very interesting! Thank ya much gentlemen for putting this together.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful property Bob. A lovely spot.
Two great mates and minds as neighbours,thank you.
a lot tree, i like the
Very informative and interesting to see all the different varieties of Magnolas....who would have thought there were so many different species? Thanks, Bob for the information.
Bob my neighbor is 93 and is the most interesting man I’ve ever met. He witnessed a nuclear explosion at Enewetak, among a long life of adventures. He told me when he was a boy he wanted to feed out a group of hogs, so he cut down some hollow American chestnut trees and sawed them in half to use as feed troughs.
Hi Nathan. At 93 I'm sure he has seen a lot.
Your house is lovely! I noticed the bee-utiful yellow color! 🐝
Thank you. I like to use yellow. It's a happy color.
Sweet
Bob
That man has a fantastic voice that is great for presentations. Very clear and easy to understand. Just like yourself but with more depth.
Great video.
Simon
I love watching your youtube videos. You are such an endearing person and so are all the people you present on your episodes. The bee content is wonderful too. 🐝 smile😊
Used to find a good many American Chestnut shoots growing up from old roots, particularly where logging was done and the sun could directly heat the ground for a year or two.
Only found one (clump) that made it to fruiting stage. Haven’t checked it in 8-10 years. Most likely died above ground, lying in wait for the next time. So many lessons. - Thanks for this, learned several helpful things. 👍🐝😃
Magnificent property magnificent content and most of all two magnificent presenters three with Seth 👍👍👍
I always say your neighbors are your best asset
Enjoyed this a lot. Thanks for sharing!
Blessed you are to have a good neighbor as your good friend! Thank you for sharing.
HBM
Good neighbors are priceless.
So enjoyed this , you have a beautiful place wonderful friends.
God has blessed you and your family.
Such a treat to be shown around your beautiful surroundings Bob. So different from anything we get where I live in the UK, and not because it is bad over here, just very different.
Thank you for letting us into your life a little more! Absolutely love the tour of your property. Cheers
Wow!!! Jack is a wealth of information!!! How wonderful to have him as your neighbor! I learned so much, but mostly that I don't know next to nothing about plants lol! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Good morning jack, we finally have candy roaster set on.
All you show is of great interest Bob. It is interesting to see the local way of adapting and doing things with the terrain, etc.
I really enjoyed watching you and your friend! You have a real treasure in the beautiful location and a wonderful neighbor. I'm not so lucky in either case but I do have a roof over my head and food on the table which is more than a lot of people have. I used to have a bunch of bees in northern Appalachia and field golden rod was my main source of extra honey.😊😊
Wow love all your fabulous trees Bob , fabulous habitat for so many . Your friend knows his plants . Great vlog , love the change but very impressed.👍👍
I love watching all the different videos. Your season is just about week and a half to two weeks ahead of me. Just north of Asheville.
One of the best videos so far! Loved it!
Great place to live thanks for sharing. No way I could ever remember all those names.
Thanks for the video.
Just marvellous
What a blessing to have your best friend as a neighbor. Thanks for showing us around your place. Your place and topography is very similar to my place here in the Missouri ozarks. I'm just just 25+ years behind you and about 2 hardiness zones cooler.
Thanks for the plant talk.
Good morning Bob. When I start bee keeping the wife had some parrot lillys and the bees were all over it.But I have never seen them on it again.
Wonderful information. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Bob!
very cool video and your best friend knows his stuff thank you sir.
Great info as usual
Great video thanks Bob
Very interesting, thanks for the video.
Bob that’s a really nice looking place you got there
Thanks.
Love your videos Bob. One of my favorite things to do every Sunday
Thanks for the video of the nice area. 😊
Tnx for sharing
I'd love to see another episode like this in the fall to see what the area looks like then. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing love watching and learning speaking of golden rod in fields I’ve wondered about bee’s getting the pollen from them after the farmers spray the field and then the bee gets the chemicals on them or on the pollen and bring it back to the hive and over time that is effecting them just my thoughts I understand the bees are going to get into several things that could affect them and it’s not just farmers and chemicals so I’m not trying to throw any hate on nobody just saying thanks for sharing
Thank you Bob for sharing such amazing knowledge through Jack. When we started keeping bees we were interested in finding areas near us with sourwood. After searching and finding a few in the surrounding miles we were happily shock when fall came and we could see almost 50 sourwood trees surrounding our house and hives. Great video!
First off you have a beautiful place!
Jack is extremely knowledgeable. Is he a professor at a university somewhere ?
I worked for the Nevada division of forestry for 10 years and it amazed me how little they truly knew about trees
Thanks. He's a retired ER nurse, but is very interested in plants (obviously) and is self taught.
@@bobbinnie9872does he have content about plants anywhere out on the internet? I’ve been trying to find anything about him on line and so far have only found a small blog about him from 2013… he’s very knowledgeable
Thanks Mr. Binnie. I have a report idea now! I'll take my botany book and find all the nectar and pollen sources close to the Bee Yard!
