Well not really, but the first family will be planting an organic garden and will have bee hives as well. You know say what you want about Obama, but damn that is cool.

“The inclusion of two beehives in the White House garden sends a very powerful message about the importance of bees to our food supply,” says Karen Wasmer, a mentor to new beekeepers who became a beekeeper to aid in the pollination of her organic crops (http://www.kwapiary.com). “I look forward to mentoring more new beekeepers,” says Ms. Wasmer, who offers classes to beekeepers as young as age 10 through the Northeast Florida Honey Bee Association (www.nelfhba.com).

“Local beekeeping is the vibrant point where environmentalism, gardening and the local food movement intersect,” says Guillermo Fernandez of The Honeybee Conservancy, a charitable environmental organization working to protect bees. “Nearly one-third of the United State’s crops rely on bees for pollination, yet close to one-fourth of the nation’s commercial honey bees have vanished in recent years. Americans in cities from New York to Los Angeles, have flocked to the idea of small-scale beekeeping as a way to help save our bees and—like the Obamas—to pollinate their crops and generate some free local honey in the process!”(via)
