Connecting people to nature

We’ve been buzzing since 2013. It all started when three childhood friends wanted to flip the conventional beekeeping model. Instead of one person caring for hundreds of honey bee hives, why not bring hundreds of people together around one hive?

Once you get to know them, falling in love with bees is inevitable. And we all feel a need to protect the things we love.

Today, we partner with buildings in more than 60 cities across North America and Europe, promoting more sustainable cities and cultivating deeper connections to nature wherever we go.

We believe that commercial real estate is uniquely positioned to make a positive impact on biodiversity. It’s our mission to unlock that potential.

Our commitment 
to corporate social responsibility

As a certified B Corp, we balance purpose and profit. We consider the impact of our decisions on our workers, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment.

To maintain our B Corp status, we need to recertify every three years, improving on our preceding score. This process keeps us accountable, ensuring that we continue to drive a high level of impact.

We are part of a global movement of organizations giving back 1% of their annual sales to nonprofits working to protect the environment.

We partner with environmental nonprofits located in cities where our bees are buzzing. This contribution supports greening initiatives like planting more wildflowers for all pollinators.

Our mission is aligned with the United Nations’ SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 15: Life on Land. By aligning with the SDGs, we’re doing business in a way that contributes to a better world.

Discover how the SDGs are reflected in our services

We are proud early adopters of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). We are making disclosures aligned with the TNFD Recommendations in our corporate reporting for financial year 2024 and beyond.
