Apiterra provides companies and institutions in Neuchâtel with comprehensive, turnkey corporate beekeeping services. Drawing on professional experience established in 2010, our beekeepers transform your corporate premises into active sanctuaries for local biodiversity.
Renowned internationally for precision engineering, horology, and innovative technology, Neuchâtel boasts a dynamic business landscape rooted in high standards. From the Microcity innovation hub to corporate offices along the lakeside and business sectors in Serrières, local enterprises continuously pursue progressive corporate practices. Welcoming an apiary onto company grounds offers these technology leaders, academic institutions, and corporate headquarters a visible, practical sustainability initiative that resonates with their culture of precision, quality, and environmental stewardship.
Framed by Lake Neuchâtel and the green slopes of the Jura mountains, the city offers rich forage opportunities for honeybees throughout the foraging season. Open spaces like the Jeunes-Rives parklands, the hillside vineyards, and the Neuchâtel Botanical Garden supply nectar and pollen from early spring through late summer. The lake acts as a mild thermal buffer, softening temperature extremes and creating an optimal microclimate that supports strong colony health and diverse urban floral resources.
Rooftops of modern headquarters, quiet courtyards, and perimeter grounds provide safe, compliant locations for corporate beehives across Neuchâtel. Apiterra assumes full operational responsibility, managing health inspections, routine maintenance, and seasonal harvests seamlessly. This allows facility managers to implement an impactful CSR project that engages teams and demonstrates authentic commitment to biodiversity, completely free of logistical burdens.
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 Neuchâtel
How does the Lake Neuchâtel microclimate benefit corporate apiaries?
+
The lake acts as a natural heat reservoir that mitigates sudden temperature drops and fosters steady, extended flowering periods from spring to autumn. Our beekeeping team adjusts apiary management and wintering schedules specifically to match the unique atmospheric conditions of the Jura lakeshore.
Do you really work in Neuchâtel?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Neuchâtel and across canton of Neuchâtel, 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.
