On Friday, May 1st, videos show the 79-year-old swatting at what looked like a B buzzing his ear during a press chat. He laughed it off, calling it a vicious B, just a week after First Lady Melania unveiled new B-hives. Tonya announced the addition on April 24th via Instagram. The hand-crafted hive, shaped like the White House, brings two new B colonies to join the existing two. It aims to boost honey production by about 30 pounds a year for White House kitchens, gifts, and food donations. The couple even showed off the hive to King Charles and Queen Camilla during their state visit on Tuesday, April 28th. White House Beekeeping kicked off in 2009, started by a carpenter as a hobby. Peak summer hives hold around 70,000 Bs yielding up to 225 pounds of honey annually.

No word yet on public sales. Social media lit up with jokes about the B picking on Trump, from hairspray lures to calls for B back up. The jokes like the White House buzz is just getting started.
