Since 2010, Apiterra has been supporting organisations across Greater Nancy in installing and managing corporate beehives. Elevate your local CSR strategy in the historic capital of the Dukes of Lorraine with a hands-on, high-impact biodiversity initiative.
Nancy combines historical heritage with a forward-looking economic ecosystem focused on healthcare, research, and advanced services. From the renowned Technopôle de Nancy-Brabois innovation hub to contemporary commercial developments in Nancy Grand Cœur and Rives de Meurthe, local enterprises are ideally positioned to drive sustainable change. Introducing corporate beehives on these corporate sites enables regional headquarters, institutes, and service companies to lead on environmental stewardship. It provides a shared point of pride that unites teams around tangible ecological action within the local urban fabric.
The city offers a well-connected ecological network that sustains healthy honeybee colonies. Landmark green spaces such as the Parc de la Pépinière, Parc Sainte-Marie, and the restored banks of the Meurthe river supply abundant forage throughout the warmer months. Characterised by a semi-continental climate, the area supports rich nectar flows from mature linden trees, black locust, and municipal botanical plantings. Furthermore, the immediate proximity of the extensive Haye forest delivers sustained pollen resources from early spring until the arrival of autumn.
Whether installed on secure office rooftops in urban districts or within landscaped grounds across suburban tech campuses, Nancy business properties offer ideal environments for apiaries. Apiterra manages every aspect of hive health, safety, and seasonal maintenance, ensuring full peace of mind for your workforce. This turnkey CSR project highlights your ecological commitment in a memorable way, providing your organisation with its own bespoke harvest of local Nancy honey.
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 Nancy
How do beehives withstand the colder winter conditions typical of Nancy?
+
Honeybees adapt naturally to continental winters by gathering into a tight cluster inside the hive to preserve heat. Apiterra's beekeepers carry out thorough winter preparation and monitoring in autumn, ensuring colonies stay well-nourished and emerge vigorous as soon as spring blossoms appear.
Do you really work in Nancy?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Nancy and across Grand Est, 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.
