Yes, urban beekeeping is safe. Honey bees, particularly the Italian honey bees Alvéole works with, are known for their calm and gentle nature. These bees are non-territorial and only become defensive if they feel directly threatened. In fact, honey bees sting only as a last resort since stinging is harmful to them. Wild bees are even gentler and rarely sting unless provoked. While urban beekeeping requires added care and responsibility, Alvéole prioritizes safety by implementing best practices to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone.
