White House Expands Honey Program with New Beehive Shaped Like Residence

Melania Trump announced the expansion of the White House honey program with a new beehive shaped like the White House, funded by the Trust for the National Mall. Existing hives, active since 2009, house up to 70,000 bees and produce 200 to 225 pounds of honey annually. The new hive is expected to increase production by about 30 pounds, bringing total output to 230-255 pounds. The honey is used in official meals, gifts, and donations, and visitors can learn about pollination and food production.
