About this event

Grand Island — the Hall County city that commands the broad Platte River valley at Nebraska's geographic heart, celebrated for its role in the annual Sandhill Crane migration spectacle and positioned at the center of Nebraska's most productive sweet clover and alfalfa honey belt — sits in a landscape of extraordinary floral diversity where the wide valley supports sweet clover, alfalfa, sunflower, and native prairie wildflower in the rich bottomland soils that make Nebraska consistently one of the nation's top five honey-producing states. This September festival at Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer celebrates Hall County's deep beekeeping heritage through competitive honey shows drawn from producers across the Platte River valley corridor, guided educational programs on the ecological relationship between the crane migration and the flowering prairie that supports both migrating birds and honey bees, demonstrations on extracting sweet clover mono-varietal honey that is Nebraska's signature contribution to American artisan honey culture, and culinary showcases pairing Nebraska's distinctive prairie honeys with the state's legendary grain, beef, and stone fruit traditions.
