Welcome to the GRCC Apiary!
A Partnership Between Grand Rapids Community College and the Grand Rapids Area Beekeeping Club.
Sustaining Our Community, One Hive at a Time.
The GRCC Apiary supports sustainability, promotes pollinator health and strengthens our connection to the natural world. These hives contribute to local biodiversity by helping pollinate plants and support thriving ecosystems.
This living laboratory offers hands-on learning for students and community members, while fostering collaboration with the Grand Rapids Area Beekeeping Club. Together, we’re working to protect pollinators and inspire environmental stewardship for generations to come.
Protecting pollinators. Supporting the planet.

Special Thanks to the Founding Contributors of this Project.
This apiary would not have been possible without the vision, dedication, funding and hard work of many people. We are deeply grateful for their expertise, passion and resources to help establish and maintain a thriving apiary.
