As one of Flanders' primary economic and innovation hubs, Ghent offers an ideal setting for integrating biodiversity into the workplace. Apiterra supports local organizations with turnkey corporate beekeeping services tailored to their commercial facilities.
Ghent's economy combines a strong tradition of industrial logistics linked to North Sea Port with thriving clusters in biotechnology, clean technologies, and digital services. Across major corporate hubs such as Tech Lane Ghent Science Park and surrounding commercial parks, regional companies are actively pursuing sustainable practices. Installing corporate beehives gives these organizations a concrete way to showcase their ESG commitments, transforming environmental goals into an inspiring project that engages employees directly at their workplace.
Influenced by a mild maritime climate, Ghent provides bees with reliable foraging conditions throughout the spring and summer months. The confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers, alongside expansive public green spaces like Citadelpark, Blaarmeersen, and the nearby Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen reserve, generates a rich botanical corridor. Urban gardens, canal banks, and tree-lined avenues offer diverse sources of nectar and pollen, sustaining resilient honeybee colonies across the city.
Corporate flat roofs, landscaped grounds around corporate headquarters, and technology campuses across Ghent offer secure environments for beekeeping infrastructure. Local organizations, well-known for their focus on sustainability and quality of life, use this environmental initiative to foster internal engagement, promote local biodiversity, and tangibly demonstrate their community commitment.
Above all, it brings people together: hive visits, harvest days, the Apiterra mobile app and the Apinews keep every employee involved throughout the year.

Questions about beehives in Ghent
Can corporate beehives thrive near Ghent's industrial and commercial zones?
+
Yes, because Ghent's waterways and urban green corridors provide rich, continuous floral resources even close to business districts. Apiterra conducts a thorough on-site audit before installation to confirm safety requirements and ensure adequate floral forage for the bees.
Do you really work in Ghent?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Ghent and across Flanders, as in the rest of France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
Is there any risk for employees?
+
Hives are installed in places away from passage areas after an on-site study. Bees fly up and out of the apiary and are not interested in people. Apiterra takes care of insurance and all legal obligations.
How much does it cost?
+
Each project is different (number of hives, site, options). Request a quote and we will send you a personalised proposal.
What if we have no rooftop or garden?
+
You can sponsor hives hosted in our Apiterra apiaries and still receive honey and news from your colonies.
