The White House Bees

On April 22, take your child to work day, my sister Audrey and I were given a extraordinary opportunity to go to the White House. We visited with the White House bees as well as teaching the hundred or so children who came about bees with Charlie Brandts, the White House beekeeper who we loved meeting, and my mentor Toni Burnham. This was an extremely exciting experience and we got to see first hand the enjoyment the children took at trying the honey and the interest many showed to pursue this knowledge further. We also got an added bonus-- Charlie was kind enough to give us a fantastic tour of the White House.
