This initiative plays a role in both the property’s sustainability and engagement strategies. Through beekeeper visits and workshops, tenants are able to connect with nature and each other.

Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in San Antonio is regulated by city ordinances, requiring beekeepers to register their hives with the Texas Apiary Inspection Service. Beekeepers must follow guidelines on hive placement and maintenance to ensure public safety and minimize disturbances to neighbors. Alvéole’s professional beekeepers manage compliance with all local and state regulations in San Antonio.
Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout San Antonio. 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 San Antonio’s sustainability efforts, including initiatives to promote green spaces, biodiversity, and environmental education. Alvéole’s approach to beekeeping contributes to San Antonio’s broader goals of creating a more sustainable urban environment.
