Reims pairs a world-renowned economic heritage with an expanding network of green corridors in France's Grand Est region. Since 2010, Apiterra has partnered with organizations across Reims to install and manage turnkey corporate beehives that enhance CSR initiatives and support biodiversity.
Reims features a dynamic business community driven by prestigious Champagne houses, advanced bio-economy sectors, and growing corporate services. Key commercial hubs such as the Bezannes business park by the Champagne-Ardenne TGV station, the Clairmarais tertiary district near the central station, and the Croix-Blandin business zone host numerous regional headquarters and modern corporate campuses. These forward-looking sites provide ideal environments for introducing corporate apiaries, giving businesses a visible and authentic way to demonstrate their environmental stewardship to staff, clients, and community stakeholders.
Bordered by the Montagne de Reims Regional Natural Park and crossed by the Vesle River and the local canal, Reims provides abundant forage for honey bees. Vast green spaces such as Parc de Champagne, Parc Léo Lagrange, and the Coulée Verte greenway deliver a rich sequence of nectar and pollen from early spring through late summer, including linden trees, black locust, and urban flowerbeds. The regional temperate climate supports healthy colony development, offering bees a safe urban ecosystem with consistent resources throughout the foraging season.
From office rooftops in Clairmarais to landscaped corporate grounds around Bezannes, Reims offers diverse settings well-suited for professional beekeeping. Hosting beehives transforms unused exterior space into a thriving haven for biodiversity while anchoring corporate sustainability in everyday workplace culture. It serves as an engaging tool for environmental awareness, fostering team pride and highlighting your company's dedication to positive local impact across the Reims metropolitan area.
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 Reims
Are corporate rooftops in Reims suitable for installing honey bee hives?
+
Yes, flat rooftops on office buildings in districts such as Clairmarais or Bezannes offer prime conditions, providing a secure, quiet space away from pedestrian traffic. Bees enjoy open flight paths toward neighboring parks and the Coulée Verte to gather nectar. A professional site audit is conducted prior to installation to ensure safe access, structural suitability, and optimal hive orientation.
Do you really work in Reims?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Reims 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.
