Melania Trump added a new beehive to the White House grounds to help grow the existing honey program. The new hive will house two new bee colonies and is expected to produce an extra 30 pounds of honey every year.
The honey will be used by White House chefs for cooking and making desserts. It will also be given away as official gifts and donated to local food kitchens to help people in need.
These bees will help pollinate the White House gardens and nearby plants on the National Mall. This helps the environment and keeps the local gardens healthy and blooming.
The project was paid for by the Trust for the National Mall and did not use taxpayer money. A local craftsman from Virginia built the hive to look like the White House.
