Frequently asked questions

Urban beekeeping in Charlotte is regulated by city ordinances and state laws, which require beekeepers to register their hives with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The city has guidelines for hive placement to ensure public safety and minimize conflicts with neighbors. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers ensure full compliance with Charlotte’s local and state regulations.

Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Charlotte. 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.

Alvéole’s urban beekeeping program aligns with Charlotte’s sustainability goals outline in the Sustainable and Resilient Charlotte by 2050 plan. The city strives to protect natural resources, promote conservation, and become a leader in environmental sustainability.
