On May 2nd, King Charles and Queen Camilla's four-day state visit to the United States turned

beehive-shaped chocolate cake drizzled with their honey.

Guests to comb jars, too.

Later in Harlem, Charles handed honey from his high-growth house bees to a youth farm

non-profit.

Folks reacted with pure delight.

The White House dubbed it a royal buzz, and a local Virginia beekeeper named Kaley Richardson

traded dark and light honey with the royals at a block.

Party.

She said Charles preferred the darker stuff, and they swapped books and jars, highlighting

small town pride.

Even a bee buzzed into the serious Arlington National Cemetery Reflang, making Camilla

swatted away before it headed for Charles.

These unscriptive moments showed beekeeping's personal touch for the king, who tens hives

at Buckingham Palace and gives his honey to leaders.

Overall, bees wolfed through the trip as soft power, tying into Charles's push for

environmental care in his Congress speech.

It's a sticky reminder that nature's little workers can sweeten big diplomacy.
