Give your Jacksonville buildings an engagement program tenants talk about.
Why urban beekeeping works for Jacksonville buildings
Resilient Jacksonville is the city's long-term strategy for climate resilience, with expanding the tree canopy and building out green infrastructure among its priorities. A rooftop hive program is a direct, on-property way for your building to take part: it adds pollinator habitat, generates biodiversity data you can report against GRESB, BOMA BEST, and WELL, and gives tenants a program they actually engage with.

Meet the neighborhood bees
The FIS headquarters in Jacksonville, managed by Cushman & Wakefield, keeps a rooftop beehive that gives employees a hands-on reason to gather. Beekeeper visits and hive updates have made it a real part of the building's engagement programming, connecting people to the property and to urban nature.
Turning your hives into insight
Data collection and instant reporting
Remote sensing establishes baseline indicators across your portfolio, while onsite monitoring (bioacoustics and eDNA) captures species presence and habitat quality at each property. That data feeds directly into TNFD, CSRD, and GRESB reports, generated in minutes from pre-filled templates, with audit trails showing exactly where each number comes from.
Portfolio dashboard and AI agent
See biodiversity trends across all assets, benchmark each property against portfolio average, and export site-level data for individual disclosures. Ask the AI agent questions about TNFD requirements, GRESB scoring, or site-specific risks, and get answers that reference your actual portfolio data and current framework standards.

FAQ
Florida makes this straightforward. Every beekeeper in the state registers their colonies with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which includes an apiary inspection. State law also preempts local governments from banning or restricting registered managed colonies, so the rules are consistent across Jacksonville and the surrounding communities. Alvéole handles registration, inspection, siting, and compliance for every install.
Yes. Alvéole keeps Italian honey bees, a breed known for its docility. Honey bees are not aggressive away from the hive and rarely sting unless it's disturbed. Our beekeepers site hives away from high-traffic rooftop areas and manage all hive access, so tenants interact with the program through workshops and events, not the hive directly.
Northeast Florida's climate keeps something in bloom for most of the year, so the foraging window is one of the longest in the country. That means tenant-facing events, hive tours, harvest days, and workshops can run across far more of the calendar than in colder markets.
Alvéole sites hives based on local forage density rather than adding to already-busy blocks, and pairs each honeybee hive with wild bee habitat to support native pollinators too, not just honeybees.
Not much changes. Jacksonville's mild winters mean the colony stays active and keeps foraging through the season, unlike hives in colder climates that cluster for months. Alvéole monitors and manages the hive year-round, and tenant programming runs right through the winter.
