The new hive, crafted by a Virginia artisan and modeled after the White House, adds two colonies to the existing two, boosting annual honey production by 30 pounds.
Funded by the Trust for the National Mall, the hive supports pollination of the Kitchen Garden and National Mall vegetation, and will be used for official gifts, culinary dishes, and charitable donations.
The installation also serves as an educational feature for visitors, continuing a beekeeping tradition at the White House that began in 2009 and has since become a lasting part of its programs.
