Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in Ruhr 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 the Ruhr region 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 align with the Ruhr region’s ongoing efforts to revitalize green spaces and support environmental sustainability. The region, once known for its industrial landscape, is now focused on biodiversity initiatives and ecological restoration projects. Sustainable urban beekeeping initiatives promote ecosystem health and educate communities about the vital role of bees in maintaining biodiversity. These initiatives complement the Ruhr’s broader environmental goals, contributing to greener urban spaces and fostering a sustainable and resilient future for the region.
