“I Wanna Be A Beekeeper! I Wanna Keep Bees!”

I like my White House like I like my coffee…COVERED IN BEES*

A swarm of honey bees took over a bush located between the Northwest security gate of the White House and the area where television networks stand-up positions are located early Thursday.

CNN photojournalist John Bodnar said he came through the Northwest gate around 12:30 pm and was warned about the bees by Secret Service on duty in the guard post. “I walked out and thought it was a swirl of blossoms blowing in the wind, but turns out it was a swarm of bees,” he says. Half an hour later, they were still issuing warnings.”

No word on if this was actually a Secret Service sting operation or if the bees were drawn there because they had heard of the President’s recent visit with the Queen.
