Melania Trump unveiled a new beehive on the South Lawn of the White House. The hive is a replica of the executive mansion itself.
The installation expands the White House honey program. New bee colonies now buzz inside the custom-designed structure.
The first lady announced the project as part of ongoing grounds improvements. The hive mirrors the iconic columns and windows of the White House.
White House honey has been harvested from previous hives. The program began under former first lady Michelle Obama.
The bees help pollinate the South Lawn’s gardens. Officials noted the colony is thriving in its new home.
The replica hive serves both practical and educational purposes. It highlights the importance of pollinators to the environment.
