119. From Beekeeper to Bee Researcher! (feat. Shelby Memeti)

Find Shelby here: In this episode I speak with Shelby, a master's student at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, about her journey into the world of honeybees and entomology. Shelby shares her childhood fascination with insects, her experiences in beekeeping through the Future Farmers of America (FFA), and her transition into higher education. The conversation delves into her current research projects aimed at improving beekeeping practices, the significance of bee wax production, and the various products that bees create, including honey and propolis.
