 This Week's Trivia Question:

On Friday, the First Lady unveiled the installation of a new structure on the South Lawn of the White House.  Is it: (1) a pickleball court with a net made of 24-karat gold thread; (2) a mosaic of the Founding Fathers in the White House swimming pool in commemoration of the nation’s 250th birthday; or (3) a beehive in the shape of the White House?  


Answer: 

The First Lady unveiled the addition of a newly installed and fully functioning beehive on the South Lawn in the image of the White House, which will add two new bee colonies to the existing two colonies established in 2009 by former First Lady Michelle Obama that produce the White House’s signature honey and will increase annual honey production by an estimated 30 pounds.
