The visit begins on Monday, when the royal couple will be received by President Donald Trump and his wife at the White House in Washington DC
Here, the presidential couple offers afternoon tea, before the presidential and royal couple have to inspect the beehives in the White House’s garden.
The visit to the garden comes just days after it was announced that Melania Trump has expanded the White House beekeeping operation with a new beehive.
The new hive is designed as a mini version of the White House.
The beehives are located on the South Lawn, which is a lawn immediately south of the White House.
King Charles is an experienced beekeeper himself. According to the news agency AP, he and Queen Camilla have at least three hives at Highgrove House, which is the royal couple’s private residence in Gloucestershire, England.
