About Alvéole

Alvéole is a Montreal urban beekeeping company. It installs beehives on rooftops and other city sites, cares for them, and bottles the honey for each building, so the people who live or work there can taste what their own bees produced.

It suits companies and building owners looking for a hands-on environmental project, and city dwellers curious about bees. If your office has hives, a jar of building honey is a fun local gift for clients or coworkers. It is a good reminder that pollinators can thrive even in the middle of Montreal, between the rooftops and the parks.
