Obama to Raise Bees at White House

3/24/2009

In keeping with promoting healthy life styles, the Obamas will plant an organic vegetable garden at the White House. (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/20/dining/20garden.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=vegetable%20garden%20obama&st=cse). In small print on page 2 is the following statement:

“The Obamas will feed their love of Mexican food with cilantro, tomatillos and hot peppers. Lettuces will include red romaine, green oak leaf, butterhead, red leaf and galactic. There will be spinach, chard, collards and black kale. For desserts, there will be a patch of berries. And herbs will include some more unusual varieties, like anise hyssop and Thai basil. A White House carpenter, Charlie Brandts, who is a beekeeper, will tend two hives for honey”.

This is an amazing development in support of beekeepers all over the world. I wonder what a jar of White House honey will sell for?
