She's been quiet for a while, but we're proud to report: Karen Pence is officially back in the game.

The vice president's wife, who he calls "Mother" in typical conservative Oedipal fashion, just installed anywhere from 15,000 -- 20,000 bees at the Vice President residence. The second lady is responding to the rapid and alarming drop in the global bee population.

Karen Pence believes in science!

Like pretty much everything good in the Trump administration, Karen appears to have copied her idea from Michelle Obama. In 2009, Michelle helped to introduce over 35,000 bees to the White House. It's unclear how many bees the Vice President residence supports at this time or why they couldn't have picked a far cuter endangered species to support, like pandas.

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's wonderful to see Karen back in public life. Prior to joining the White House, Karen was as a powerful business tycoon in the bullish beach towel charm industry, and once led her own company: That's my Towel! Charm.

Mother Pence revolutionized the beach towel industry by introducing quirky charms people could attach to their towels to distinguish them from others.

Will Karen be the one to end the bee epidemic? President Trump probably has that task assigned to Jared, but remember: there's nothing that Mother can't do.
