Alvéole

What Alvéole does

Alvéole is a privately held Canadian company headquartered in Montreal that operates a managed rooftop beekeeping program for commercial real estate properties. The company's core offering combines physical asset deployment — professional beekeepers visiting sites every three weeks to maintain hives and run tenant workshops including honey extractions, candle making, honey tastings, and guided hive visits — with digital infrastructure. Its product portfolio includes the MyHive digital tenant engagement platform for portfolio-wide event management and participation tracking, the Nature Sensor AI-powered biodiversity monitoring system that captures pollinator and bird species audio data for ESG reporting frameworks (GRESB RM7, BREEAM, LEEDv5, TNFD), the Aura nature-data visualization platform, and branded honey production delivering 100 jars annually per hive labeled with building branding.

The company generates revenue through two primary streams: managed services for rooftop beekeeping programs (hive installation, recurring beekeeper visits, tenant workshops, branded honey, and MyHive access) and subscription recurring revenue from Nature Sensor (AI-powered biodiversity monitoring with sensor installation, ongoing data capture, dashboard access, and year-end report packaging). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed through 'Book a demo' consultations. Alvéole employs an enterprise field sales motion targeting commercial real estate owners, asset managers, and property management companies globally across five vertical segments: office, retail, multifamily residential, industrial properties, and senior housing. Customers include Blackstone, Hines, Prologis, Tishman Speyer, JLL, Nuveen, BGO, Oxford Properties, AXA Investment Managers, Generali, Realterm, Veris Residential, Morguard, and QuadReal Property Group, with 2,200+ assets deployed across North America (USA, Canada) and the United Kingdom.
