About us

Connecting people to nature

We’ve been buzzing since 2013. It all started when three childhood friends wanted to flip the conventional beekeeping model. Instead of one person caring for hundreds of honey bee hives, why not bring hundreds of people together around one hive?

A purpose-driven company built to bring nature into cities.

Once you get to know them, falling in love with bees is inevitable. And we all feel a need to protect the things we love.

Today, we partner with buildings in more than 60 cities across North America and Europe, promoting more sustainable cities and cultivating deeper connections to nature wherever we go.

Our VALUES

What it means to work at Alvéole.

These values guide the work we do each and every day.

Grow together

We stay flexible as the business changes. We give feedback freely and listen when it comes our way. We own our development, learning and sharing what we know.

Lead with passion

We treat every task like it matters. We roll up our sleeves, because passion means doing, not just directing. We set a high bar and share our work eagerly.

Push boundaries

We stretch beyond the expected. We challenge the status quo, experimenting early with instinct and insight. We move fast, prioritizing momentum over perfection.

Choose optimism

We treat tough moments as a push forward, not a pause. We bring ideas, not just issues. We start with curiosity, not skepticism, assuming positive intent.

Make work meaningful

We connect our work to Alvéole's bigger goals and cut what isn't moving the needle. We focus on outcomes, not outputs, and own the results.

Make the customer win

We succeed when our customers do. We build long-term trust over short-term wins, and show up with the care and boldness that makes us hard to forget.

Our commitment to corporate social responsibility

We hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Certified B Corp

As a certified B Corp, we balance purpose and profit. We consider the impact of our decisions on our workers, clients, communities, and the environment, and recertify every three years to stay accountable.
