Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in Nashville is regulated by city ordinances, requiring beekeepers to register their hives with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The city also has guidelines for hive placement and maintenance to ensure public safety and peaceful coexistence with neighbors. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers manage all compliance with Nashville’s local and state regulations.
Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Nashville. 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 Nashville’s sustainability efforts, including initiatives to enhance green spaces, promote biodiversity, and foster environmental education. This program contributes to Nashville’s broader goals of building a more sustainable urban environment.
