Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in London is regulated by local councils and requires adherence to guidelines that ensure the responsible placement and management of hives, minimizing any risk to the public. Professional Alvéole beekeepers ensure compliance with all relevant local regulations and best practices.
Urban beekeeping is safe, and there are many thriving bee programs across London. 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.
An Alvéole bee program supports London’s sustainability goals by promoting green spaces, sustainable landscaping practices, and environmental education around biodiversity and pollinator health. At Alvéole, we are committed to supporting both honey bee and native pollinator populations through our programming.
