As a prominent European capital committed to ecological urbanism, Strasbourg offers an ideal environment to anchor biodiversity within your corporate CSR strategy. Apiterra partners with companies and public institutions across the Eurometropolis to install and manage turnkey corporate beehives on their premises.
From the international Archipel business district at the Wacken to the Espace Européen de l'Entreprise in Schiltigheim, the Strasbourg metropolitan area is home to major corporate headquarters, European organizations, and leading service industries. Whether your facilities stand along the banks of the Ill, near the Rhine Port, or within suburban office parks, setting up beehives turns your sustainability goals into a tangible experience. This collaborative project enhances your corporate grounds while strengthening employer brand engagement around authentic, long-term environmental responsibility.
With its semi-continental climate and marked seasonal shifts, Strasbourg provides bees with generous floral resources from early spring onwards. Iconic public spaces such as the Parc de l'Orangerie, the Parc de Pourtalès, and the Jardin des Deux Rives supply diverse foraging sources, including linden trees, horse chestnuts, black locust, and varied urban flora. Complemented by blue-green corridors along the river Ill and regional canals, these green expanses support healthy colonies with a dependable supply of nectar and pollen throughout the foraging season.
Modern office complexes across the Eurometropolis, featuring spacious flat roofs, as well as landscaped suburban corporate campuses, offer ideal settings for corporate apiaries. Apiterra conducts thorough technical assessments regarding flight corridors and site safety to ensure seamless cohabitation with employees and visitors. This living CSR project showcases your company’s active role in protecting urban pollinators across the Alsatian territory.
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 Strasbourg
Is Strasbourg's semi-continental climate with cold winters suitable for corporate beehives?
+
Yes, honeybees naturally withstand freezing temperatures by forming a tight thermal cluster within the hive to protect the queen. Apiterra's beekeepers carefully winterize each colony during autumn by verifying food reserves and hive protection ahead of Alsatian winter frosts. In early spring, the rise in temperatures and rich regional blossom enable a healthy and vigorous colony restart.
Do you really work in Strasbourg?
+
Yes. Apiterra installs and maintains corporate beehives in Strasbourg 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.
