Four Young Reporters Ask Mrs. Obama Questions
Posted by
with Gabriel, Time for Kids, Helen, National Geographic Kids, Alexandria, Scholastic, Daniel, Ranger Rick in the
Children’s Garden of the White House on March 16, 2011.
Roundtable discussion:
Helen, from National Geographic Kids: Hi, I’m Helen, and I’m from
National Geographic, and I was wondering… What do you make with the
honey from the White House beehive?
Michelle Obama: Well, we use it in recipes. I put it in my tea.
Sometimes some of the pastry chefs bake with it. We’ve also given it as
gifts to other First Ladies around the world. Most recently, the
beekeeper worked with some folks and they made beer from the honey. So
we had the first ever White House brewed beer with honey, and we served
it at the Super Bowl Party. We’ve figured out a lot of things to do with
the honey.
Who’s next?

First Lady Michelle Obama invited local school children to the White House Wednesday afternoon to plant vegetables in the White House Kitchen Garden. Students from Bancroft Elementary School in Washington, D.C., their teachers, White House staff, and employees from the National Park Service helped Mrs. Obama plant seedlings and seeds in raised beds on the White House South Lawn.
