Thanks for the sourwood seeds Bob! I called your store in early January and learned you had not received my self-addressed, stamped envelope. I was asked for my address and hoped you still had seeds that weren't packed up for the NAHBE. After a few weeks, I assumed I had missed my opportunity. But on Thursday, 4/25/24, an envelope arrived with sourwood seeds! It was postmarked 1/16/24. I'm not sure where they were all that time but thank you so much for sending them! Mike, Huntersville, NC
Hi; Bob just got the sourwood seeds can't wait to get them started. Thank you very much I will replant every tree that I can get started and tell everyone they are in honor of Bob Binnie. Thank you, Ron Webb
Thank you Bob for the Sourwood seeds. I bit the bullet and went to TyTy nursery online and bought a tree. I didn't think I had enough time left in my life for that seed to mature. Thanks again.
Thanks for my sourwood seeds Bob! Even they won’t produce nectar in south Alabama I’m truly grateful for them and will plant them as ornamental trees! You’re are a one of!!!!
I work for the city and we have a big spot that just grows weeds that I'm gonna till up and put a bunch of wildflower seeds, I've already got goldenrod and milkweed seeds that I've gathered and gonna spread. Gonna order some wildflower seeds and some sunflower seeds to plant there this spring. Gonna put me an envelope in the mail too. I'm sure you are gonna get more requests than the amount of seeds you have to get out. Thanks!
Oh, I'm all over the place, I love UA-cam for this. Mug up Bob from the northern Appalachians, up here in New Hampshire. 24 f this am...winter is here, I know because my Johnnie's and Fed Co seed catalogs came in the mail the other day. Can't wait to sit down with a bunch of coffee and argue about what tomatoes to get. Thanks for sharing, Have a happy t-day!
Thanks for posting Bob. The demonstration of planting the sourwood seeds was particularly interesting for me. We plan to try this method. My wife and I have been spreading sourwood seeds by just throwing a pinch of seeds in open areas that get some sunlight all over our forestland for the past 5 years. We have some sourwood and a lot of poplar here in middle Tennessee but would like to see more sourwood.
@@bobbinnie9872 Yes bottom boards also. I really like the ones you make and sell. I need to replace a lot of the ones I have. Plus I'm going to get into selling queens. There isn't anyone that sells them in my area.
Hi Bob. I wondered if all the seeds have been distributed or not. I mailed my SAS envelope to you when the video was two or three days old, from Virginia. So it’s been several weeks and I hadn’t seen anything. Didn’t know whether I should still be on the lookout for them or not. Thanks again for these educational tree videos and your generous offer to supply some seeds. I was looking forward to trying to get some going on my place in Southwest Virginia. Happy new year!
Sorry. We've mailed hundreds of envelopes and perhaps yours got lost. Call our store on Tuesday and ask for Tera. She can take your address and send them again. 706 782 6722
Bob, these Tree Lesson videos are great.👍 Looks like the Dogwoods are a little more brown-red and the Sourwoods are red-red. I bet it would grow good here in the NW.😁Have a wonderful Lords Day Bob. If you and your friend were interested, does he have experience with elderberry?
That's heck of deal on seed thank you.. I need some branches for grafting. Needs to be cut during the winter thou . I'd like to graft just to see if bees in Michigan will work it . If they do i could supply the bee clubs
Well hardiness zone 5-9 We are under 4" of snow even though the weather is extremely warm for us this year 5C for 3 fays in a row I have a plan for next spring Todd my farmer friend with the Buckwheat and I are going to tap Some Manitoba Maples (BoxElder ) and feed the girls with it . Thanks for the videos
Ha Bob enjoy every video u do. I also look forward to them on Sundays, I have watched every video u have done, I remember u treat with oav 3 times in Dec but I can not remember how far apart the treatment are is it every week Thanks I hope u and your family have a God Blessed week and happy Thanksgiving to you.
Hi Bob, thanks for all of your videos over the years. I learn from your techniques and adapt them to my little apiary of 8 hives, which this year produced almost 800 pounds of honey. Sourwood Seed Harvesting and growing potted trees looks like a possible new business venture at your store! How much could a potted Sourwood Tree sell for?
Awesome video. Sourwood is one of my favorite trees for bees. Will that tree that was pulled out of the pot be ok? I was always told that you must only move them when they are completly dormant or they can bleed through the roots and die? Its got some good roots at just one year old.
Just got my seeds yesterday Bob! Thank you very much! 1 open pollen feeding question; is it not a good practice of open feeding pollen to honey bees or does the protein intake during a dearth outweigh the chance of spreading a virus? Thanks!
Good Morning, I see you’re feeding those hives sugar feed in the beginning of the video. Do you also feed them pollen patty’s as well for their protein? Thanks!
Hi Bob can you have him explain why some don't excrete nectar and still have blooms. What does nectar actually do in the process of a flower as far as it's reproduction. Hope my question makes since lol and hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving
I asked him about some trees not producing nectar and he didn't know. I do know that the main job for nectar is to attract bees to the flower for pollination. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you!.
Thank You For All You Do❤️🕊️❤️I Just Love your Videos!!!God Bless You And your Family and Team❤️🕊️❤️Do you still have the Sourwood seeds I Really Would love Some❤️🕊️❤️
What does it take for a sourwood tree to produce nectar? I live in East Freedom Pa. Bob I have the chance to setup a bee yard near a plot of autumn olive trees. I was curious if they would make good honey crop from it? Thanks again.
@@bobbinnie9872 I just checked my elevation I believe I’m around 1630. So I should be good. How long does it take for a sourwood tree to start producing nectar?
I've ordered some fondant patties that I'll use in combination with a recipe for feeding granulated sugar with additives. I'll show it when we start some time in December.
Sourwood is a peculiar plant, at your place it can grow anywhere. I bought one plant and tried to platn it in my garden (Poland), it was really struggling and in the end it died :/
Love seed saving!!!! More people should do it to save $$$ and for the bees. Swap with friends!!!! I would swap you some black maple seeds for some sour wood but that would be a fail for both of us I fear! Better consult with Jack first.🫤
He said he felt these trees would likely grow in Pennsylvania. I’m zone 7 which is southeastern Pa. So 6 is likely our upstate zone Anyone from Pa verify my comment? Would be interesting seeing these in Pa. But I guess we have enough invassives already

Could you please read the email i sent ? (We took it from description)
It is important for Caucasian Beekeepeing Associations.
I have not received an email from you. Please try again.
@@bobbinnie9872I just resent it. It may also arrive at junk or spam.
Sourwood honey is one of my favorites. Cover the mountains with sourwood trees!

Thank you so much, Mr. Bennie!! Here’s to hoping for good growth in Central Texas blackland gumbo dirt.
Letter going out today!
Thanks Bob! I learn something in every single one of your videos.
Another wonderful video about trees. Thanks. J
Hello Bob and Jack. Great video. I love the Sourwood color in the fall.
Envelope in the mail! Thank you Mr. Binnie!!!

We have Sourwood here in slidell Louisiana
Beware, rabbits will munch on the bark of small sourwooods!

I think it will be OK. It's on the verge of going dormant anyway. I think Jack wanted to show the roots for educational purposes.
@@bobbinnie9872 You are probably ok then if it was starting to go dormant. I was surprised how big them roots where for just one year old.
Start calling you "Johnny Sourwood"
Bob, I know you got your start in the PNW--do you think Sourwoods will grow around Issaquah, WA? Thank you for this offer!
It seems likely to me that they would. I know they will grow in Powers, Oregon. Only one way to find out for sure.
Just got my seeds yesterday Bob! Thank you very much! 1 open pollen feeding question; is it not a good practice of open feeding pollen to honey bees or does the protein intake during a dearth outweigh the chance of spreading a virus? Thanks!
That's a good question. I've not tried it so I couldn't give a good answer.
Good Morning, I see you’re feeding those hives sugar feed in the beginning of the video. Do you also feed them pollen patty’s as well for their protein? Thanks!
Not at that time. Plenty of goldenrod pollen was still coming in.

Ok thanks Bob
Do you think they would have a chance in Ontario? We have much milder winters than we used to and some years not much snow. Rain or freezing rain.
I have read that they will grow in zone 5 which may suit some parts of Ontario.

Sourwoods in this area produce between 1500 and 300 foot elevation and do best between 1800 and 2200 foot.
@@bobbinnie9872 I just checked my elevation I believe I’m around 1630. So I should be good. How long does it take for a sourwood tree to start producing nectar?
I see a lot of five and six year old trees with blossoms most seasons. I assume that's old enough to produce nectar. @@reck9953
Great video Bob can you please send me one envelope with seeds to the UK?
If you will send us a self addressed envelope with the appropriate postage on it we will send them.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
What are you thinking about winter feed?
I've ordered some fondant patties that I'll use in combination with a recipe for feeding granulated sugar with additives. I'll show it when we start some time in December.
I planted 15 sourwood trees in northern maryland at a elevation of around 750 feet. Will my trees produce nectar?
I don't think so but they should grow nicely.
Beautiful yard location
We love working there.
Sourwood is a peculiar plant, at your place it can grow anywhere. I bought one plant and tried to platn it in my garden (Poland), it was really struggling and in the end it died :/
I suppose hiking all over the place (leaving seeds behind) would be a way to increase forage.....
It definitely would.

Sorry, they are all gone.
Can you just sow the seeds on the ground where you want them to grow?
It happens that way here naturally so I think so.
what would happen if everyone quit eating honey?
There would probably be less beekeepers.
