Frequently asked questions
Urban beekeeping in Atlanta is regulated by local ordinances, which generally require beekeepers to follow guidelines regarding hive placement and management to avoid conflicts with neighbors. Professional Alvéole beekeepers ensure compliance with all local regulations and best practices.
Urban beekeeping is safe, with many successful bee programs operating throughout Atlanta. 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.
A bee program supports Atlanta’s sustainability initiatives, including those outlined in the Atlanta Climate Action Plan. A bee program promotes urban biodiversity, green spaces, and environmental education. This aligns with Atlanta’s broader efforts to foster environmental stewardship, support local food systems, and create a more resilient city.
