At Alvéole, we work with gentle and docile breeds of honey bees, which allows our beekeepers to interact with them safely without the need for full protective suits. By working calmly and respecting the bees’ boundaries, our beekeepers create a harmonious environment that minimizes agitation. This approach also enables them to demonstrate their work to curious onlookers while ensuring a safe experience for everyone. Although PPE is always available and encouraged as needed, routine hive inspections typically don’t require full suits. However, during activities like honey harvesting, when bees can be more defensive, additional protective gear is used.
