Located within the botanical garden of the Guelph Arboretum, the newly completed Honey Bee Research Centre (HBRC) enhances connections to both the neighbouring University of Guelph campus and the Arboretum’s natural landscape and existing integrated trail system.

The $16-million facility serves as an upgraded hub for pollinator research, teaching, and public outreach, replacing the previous 1960s-era bungalow that had long housed the centre. Spanning 15,000 square feet, the new centre features indoor and outdoor education spaces, classroom and event areas, a laboratory, bee breeding facilities, and pollinator gardens. It is situated near Townsend House, the HBRC’s longtime home on Stone Road.
