|discussion=<p>Thousands of hectares of Nyssa ogeche have been planted in bee farms along the lower Apalachicola River in Florida and around swamps where it grows naturally (R. M. Burns and B. H. Honkala 1990, vol. 2). Bees collect nectar from the trees to make tupelo honey. The mature fruit, known as Ogeche lime, has a subacid flavor and is made into preserves.</p>
