Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in Houston is regulated by local ordinances, requiring beekeepers to adhere to guidelines on hive placement. Professional Alvéole beekeepers ensure compliance with all local regulations and best practices.
Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Houston. 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.
A bee program supports Houston’s sustainability goals, including those outlined in the Houston Climate Action Plan. A bee program promotes urban biodiversity and provides educational opportunities about the crucial role of pollinators in maintaining healthy ecosystems. This aligns with Houston’s broader efforts to promote environmental stewardship, expand green spaces, and build a more sustainable and resilient city.
