Frequently asked questions

Urban beekeeping in Phoenix is regulated by city ordinances, requiring beekeepers to register their hives with the Arizona Department of Agriculture. The city also has guidelines for hive placement and maintenance to ensure safety and minimize conflicts with neighbors. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers manage compliance with all local and state regulations in Phoenix.

Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Phoenix. 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 Phoenix’s sustainability efforts, including initiatives to promote green spaces, biodiversity, and environmental education. Alvéole’s approach to beekeeping contributes to Phoenix’s broader goals of creating a more sustainable urban environment.
