You really have beekeeping class right now?! Sounds like you have a story or two to tell, too!
I feel lame telling this, because it REALLY ISN'T VERY INTERESTING, but: I knew a guy who was in a comedy improv troupe. The troupe member/that night's emcee would ask for various suggestions from the audience for the comedians to use in skits ("a famous historical figure," "an occupation"), and bemoaned that audience members always came up with the same/most obvious stuff, which made it much less fun and less challenging for the comedians. So I spent some time before I went thinking of rarer suggestions, one of which was, for occupation, "a beekeeper!," which I bravely shouted out in a room full of strangers. The emcee teased me about it THE WHOLE REST OF THE NIGHT ... but he did finally use it in a skit. ;-)

Such is my affinity for beekeeping.
