Frequently asked questions

Urban beekeeping in Jacksonville is regulated by city ordinances and state laws, requiring beekeepers to register their hives with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The city also provides guidelines for hive placement to ensure safety and minimize conflicts with neighbors. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers handle all compliance with Jacksonville’s local and state regulations.

Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Jacksonville. 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 Jacksonville’s environmental sustainability initiatives, such as the city’s focus on enhancing green spaces and promoting biodiversity. Alvéole’s urban beekeeping program supports these goals by promoting pollinator health and providing environmental education opportunities.
