The Christ the King community maintains two apiaries as part of our stewardship of the natural environment. Our bees colonies provide us an example of how collaborative living can elevate a community above the sum of its individuals. Our volunteer beekeeping team strives to keep our bees healthy, and to increase awareness of the importance of pollinators in the Great Falls area.

You can meet the bees yourself! Come “bee” a part of our apiary community as a regular volunteer or just visit to see in person how amazing they truly are. Reservations are required and all beekeeping equipment is supplied.
Our tiny friends are fascinating creatures and we are always learning something new from them. Come see for yourself!
