Michelle Obama’s organic White House garden will become a safe haven for honeybees, as White House carpenter Charlie Brandts becomes the First Beekeeper. When I confirmed the rumor of a presidential garden earlier this month, I hinted that there were plans to start two hives for honeybees, and with one hive already in place, I can say for sure that White House honey is becoming a reality.  Honeybees are vitally important to the world’s food supply, and with the threat of Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD) threatening many commercially managed hives, the more individuals that create their own healthy hives the better.  Learn more by watching this disturbing special on CCD from PBS:

Learn about responsible beekeeping by watching the short film Every Third Bite after the jump and takepart by joining Haagen Dazs in helping the honey bees.
