Flatiron Park is partnered with Alvéole, an international urban beekeeping company, to address the declining populations of urban pollinators, honey bees. Alvéole has partnered with more than 500 companies in North America to install beehives on urban properties to create ecological awareness of bees. Alvéole has assigned a beekeeping team manager at Flatiron Park to provide educational and awareness workshops and other bee-related events for customers, including harvesting honey once a year from honey-comb hives.

Bees are responsible for the pollination of more than 130 varieties of fruits and vegetables around the globe. The honey bees’ daily quest is to bring nectar, pollen, resin, or water to their colony to ensure its development. Honey bees are not motivated to sting. They have one goal, and one goal only: to collect nectar and pollen from flowers within a 3-mile radius of their hive and bring it back to ensure the colony’s development.
