Shelby Kittle uses a beehive smoker to make the bees calm and move down into the hive so she can remove the frames filled with honey. Kittle, research technician and graduate student in entomology, removes frames from beehive on east campus. Hives are checked and levels of the hive are brought to the lab when they are full of honey. The UNL Bee Lab team monitors hives at multiple locations, harvesting the honey to use for education and as a fundraiser. June 27, 2024.
