NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Gaylord Opryland Resort is preparing to harvest nearly 40 gallons of honey from its 13 beehives located on the resort property.

The resort incorporates the honey into various food and drink offerings throughout its restaurants and bars.

Chefs at the resort experiment with different plant varieties to influence the honey's flavor profile, including wildflowers and even poison ivy.

Throughout spring, the bees pollinate various plants across the resort grounds, contributing to both the ecosystem and the culinary program.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
