The Buzz on Michelle Obama's Honey
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
The first beehive has finally produced some honey, and we hear it tastes and looks splendid. First beekeeper Charlie Brandts tells us that it has a hint of citrus, a sweet local trait, and that the first honey pull totaled 43 pounds. But don't look for it at the supermarket. Most will be used by the White House chefs, and some may go out as gifts.

Sweet Enterprise
Past presidential households have lavished taxpayers' money on luxurious carpets, expensive crockery,extensive renovations and self-serving recreational facilities. It is good to see the Obamas put our money to good use on producing honey, organic food and other such productive enterprises. To Charlie Brandts and the other White House staffers who contribute their time and effort, kudos and blessings!
