In Saint-Paul, Apiterra supports businesses looking to strengthen their corporate social responsibility through the installation of managed beehives on their premises. Since 2010, our professional beekeepers have delivered turnkey apiary management to ensure a safe, engaging, and ecologically sound experience.
As a vital economic engine on the western coast of Réunion Island, Saint-Paul hosts major commercial and business districts such as Cambaie and Savanna. Companies across the tertiary, logistics, retail, and service sectors find here a thriving environment to lead meaningful corporate sustainability programs. Introducing honeybee hives to these business parks allows local leadership to unite teams around the protection of island biodiversity, reinforcing organizational purpose within one of the territory's most prominent employment basins.
Saint-Paul features a warm tropical leeward climate with abundant sunshine, enabling continuous foraging conditions across an extended calendar. The presence of the nearby Étang de Saint-Paul National Nature Reserve, the most significant wetland in the Mascarene archipelago, provides an exceptional botanical resource for pollinators. From coastal flora and freshwater vegetation to mid-slope orchards, bees access a rich variety of nectar and pollen, ensuring strong nutritional support for colonies throughout every season.
From flat commercial rooftops in Savanna to secure corporate gardens within the Cambaie business zone, Saint-Paul properties offer adaptable spaces for corporate apiaries. Apiterra evaluates site layouts to guarantee optimal safety and colony health. These installations deliver tangible assets for CSR reporting, elevate brand reputation among regional stakeholders, and connect workplace life directly with Réunion Island's fragile natural heritage.
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 Saint-Paul
Is the leeward tropical climate of Saint-Paul suitable for corporate beehives?
+
Yes, honeybees adapt very well to Saint-Paul's warm coastal climate, which provides continuous floral resources throughout most of the year. Apiterra's beekeepers carefully select shaded, well-ventilated locations to protect colonies from excessive heat and ensure optimal safety.
Do you really work in Saint-Paul?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Saint-Paul and across La Réunion, 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.
