The new Honey Bee Research Centre at the University of Guelph will be 15,000 sq.ft and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024. The center will include a 100-hive apiary alongside research space, production and outreach programs, laboratories, offices, and classrooms. The space will serve many purposes including hosting school groups and social functions, enabling world-class research, and functioning as a demonstration facility for best practices in commercial beekeeping and honey production.
