Frequently asked questions

Urban beekeeping in Munich is regulated by local laws, requiring beekeepers to register their hives and comply with rules concerning hive placement. Professional Alvéole beekeepers ensure compliance with all local requirements.

Urban beekeeping is safe and we have many successful bee programs in Munich and across Germany. At Alvéole, we work with a special breed of Italian honey bees selected for their docility. Honey bees are gentle creatures who (almost) never sting without reason. Unless they feel threatened, bees have no motivation to sting – in fact, once they sting, they lose their stinger along with a part of their abdomen, and die.

Wild bees are as peaceful as honey bees. They technically can sting, but they don’t. Docile and nonterritorial, they’re extremely gentle. Unless they’re being touched, they simply go about their business.

Urban beekeeping programs support Munich’s sustainability initiatives, such as those outlined in the Munich Climate Protection Program. They promote urban biodiversity and provide educational opportunities to raise environmental awareness. This aligns with Munich’s broader efforts to expand green spaces, promote environmental stewardship, and create a sustainable and resilient urban environment.
