Baltimore Convention Center

The Baltimore Convention Center is home to a buzzing honey bee hive and two wild bee habitats.

The bees play an important role not only in the center’s sustainability strategy, but their engagement initiatives as well.

Frequently asked questions

Urban beekeeping in Baltimore is regulated by city and state laws, which require beekeepers to register their hives with the Maryland Department of Agriculture. The city also has zoning regulations and guidelines to ensure that hives are placed in safe, appropriate locations. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers ensure full compliance with Baltimore’s local and state requirements.

Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Baltimore. 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 aligns with Baltimore’s sustainability initiatives, such as the Baltimore Sustainability Plan, which emphasizes supporting pollinator habitat and fostering environmental education. Alvéole’s solutions reinforce Baltimore’s commitment to environmental health and community engagement.
