From Wikipedia.
The population in 2000 was 1,722 and it was setting for the movie "Ulee's Gold" but I didn't see it. Where the bees make the honey on those floating rafts or stilts are called "Bee Boxes."
Prior to the tupelo tree bloom, all earlier honeys are removed to avoid contamination by lesser grades. Once the bloom is finished, the honey is again removed quickly before other types are added to the mix.
In May, there is a two-day Tupelo Honey Festival.
The name Wewahitchka comes from the Seminole language, meaning water eyes. This refers to the two almost perfectly round lakes in the city which features a Lake Alice Park.
Dead Lakes offer great fresh water fishing.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
