What We Do
Habitat, Education,
Research, Community.
The Pollinator Project is a Michigan 501(c)(3) nonprofit based at Meyer Farms in Columbus. Its work falls into four areas: creating and protecting pollinator habitat, educating families and classrooms, supporting research into the pressures pollinators face, and giving people practical ways to take part. Meyer Farms honey and beeswax products support the mission directly.
