Apart from the program requirements, Dietrich said he enjoys teaching people to become more bee friendly, because not everyone realizes how important bees are to the environment.

About 15 potential beekeepers turned out to learn the ins and outs of the trade, from setting up a hive and harvesting honey to the best way to feed a bee.

"See how many cells are on one side of that?" Dietrich asked. "That's a lot of beeswax and a lot of engineering."

"I grew up in the Midwest, so basically for me I'm always interested in self sustaining in any way possible," Lawson said. "It's all about subsidizing what you get from the grocery store."

While Dietrich is gearing up for the busiest time of year in the bee biz, he took a time out to host a "Lunch and Learn" session at the Panama City Beach Library Tuesday.

Panama City Beach resident Janelle Lawson attended the class with an interest in possibly keeping a small beehive to help with a community garden project.

"On April 15, we want to be sitting on that riverbank when the tupelo blooms," Dietrich said. "Tupelo is the most sought after honey I always say women like it because it's sweeter and it costs more."

Dietrich is a certified master gardener through the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and is on his way to becoming a master beekeeper as well. Teaching a class to nonbeekeepers is part of the five year program, which he is set to finish Mbt Ladies Sandals On Sale
