REALTERM X ALVÉOLE
Living ecosystems at work
Realterm properties across North America and Europe are home to something unexpected: living beehives, pollinator habitats, and the people who tend them. Because great workplaces don't just house people: they connect them.

Every property has its own digital home
Each Realterm beehive has its own dedicated page on MyHive, where tenants and employees can follow their hive's activity, access educational content, and stay engaged with the program all year long.
A program built around people and place
" Bees are a powerful example of how ESG is interconnected. Environmentally, they support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, but socially, they bring people together through education, community engagement, and shared responsibility. "
Lulu Hickey
Corporate Giving Program Lead
“Our approach is grounded in the belief that the built environment must help address biodiversity loss. Through our partnership with Alvéole, we transform underutilized spaces into habitats that support pollinators, enhance biodiversity, and engage tenants. By integrating nature-based solutions into our assets, we contribute to more resilient urban ecosystems while advancing our sustainability goals.”
Kelly Johnson
Global VP, Corporate Sustainability and Operations
“Bees remind us that sustainability isn’t just about buildings or data points, it’s about creating healthier, more connected communities and understanding how deeply our environment and society depend on one another.”

What the program includes
Beekeeper visits every three weeks
Alvéole's beekeeper visits your site every three weeks to tend to the hive, monitor the colony, and share what's happening with the bees. You don't have to do anything. Just show up curious.
Events and educational activities
Throughout the year, Alvéole runs onsite workshops where you can meet the beekeeper, learn about the hive, and see urban beekeeping up close.
Follow your building's hive between visits
MyHive is the digital home for your site's beehive. You can check in on hive updates, watch recap content from workshops, and stay connected to the program year-round.
Biodiversity data and branded honey
Each year, 100 jars of honey labelled with your building’s branding come straight to you. Alongside it: biodiversity and engagement data formatted for GRESB, WELL, LEED, Fitwel, BOMA, and BREEAM reporting, as well as DDQs and other investor requirements.
