Grand Island, Neb — The Nebraska State Fair is attracting visitors with its Bee Culture Exhibit, which showcases honey production, the importance of pollinators, and ways to support declining bee populations. This exhibit features local beekeepers, educational displays, and raw honey products, preserving natural enzymes unlike commercial honey. Attendees can view observation hives, watch honey extraction demonstrations, and see competitive entries from Nebraska beekeepers. Exhibit superintendent Brian Nilson noted, “We have observation hives where people can find the bees, extraction demonstrations, and competitive exhibits judged by experts.”
