Apiterra provides businesses across Montpellier with turnkey corporate beehive installations and complete apiary management. Since 2010, our professional beekeepers have helped organizations advance their CSR strategies while actively supporting Mediterranean biodiversity in their workspaces.
Montpellier stands out as a vibrant hub of technological innovation and modern tertiary services, hosting dynamic business communities across the metropolitan area. Key commercial districts such as Le Millénaire, Garosud, and contemporary developments like Port Marianne or Cambacérès feature headquarters and corporate campuses ideally suited for managed beehives. Introducing an apiary within these business parks enables local organizations to translate their environmental values into tangible action, engaging employees around a shared sustainability project while projecting a responsible image to regional clients and partners throughout Occitanie.
Characterized by a sunny Mediterranean climate with mild winters, Montpellier provides an exceptionally favorable environment for honeybee colonies throughout the year. The surrounding garrigue landscape introduces rich floral resources, including rosemary, thyme, cistus, and lavender. Complemented by urban green corridors along the Lez river and large public parks such as the Parc du Lunaret or Domaine d'O, bees benefit from diverse nectar and pollen sources from early spring through autumn, ensuring regular forage for hives installed in urban and suburban commercial zones.
Whether situated on accessible rooftops in modern business parks or integrated into the landscaped grounds of corporate campuses, each apiary is carefully positioned by our specialists to guarantee safety and colony wellbeing. Hosting corporate beehives in Montpellier tangibly reinforces your CSR initiatives, offering engaging team-building opportunities through educational workshops and rewarding staff with bespoke local honey harvested directly on your premises.
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 Montpellier
How does Montpellier's Mediterranean climate affect corporate beehives during summer?
+
Montpellier's hot and dry summers require careful hive positioning, prioritizing partial shade and convenient access to a water source for hive cooling. Our beekeepers adapt their maintenance schedule to monitor hydration, honey stores, and colony ventilation during peak summer temperatures.
Do you really work in Montpellier?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Montpellier and across Occitanie, 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.
