What's buzzing at 550
We’re proud to take part in the movement for a more eco-conscious city by installing beehives on our rooftop!
As of June 2020, we will host one beehive. Our thousands of new colleagues will pollinate the urban flora that surrounds us during the summer. At the end of the season, we’ll harvest their honey and share it with our community.
Visit our building's MyHive page to keep up to date with our bees.
Stay tuned for upcoming workshops to learn more about our honeybees.

- Urban beekeeping is a great way to educate city dwellers to the crucial role of bees in food production.
- Populations of bees, butterflies, bumblebees and other pollinators are in rapid decline all over the world.
- Bees pollinate more than 130 varieties of fruits and vegetables around the globe - that’s a third of our food supply.
Our project is realized in collaboration with Alvéole, a social beekeeping company. Since 2013, Alvéole has partnered with hundreds of companies and schools on beekeeping projects. Each hive creates greater ecological awareness, allowing city dwellers to reconnect with nature and adjust their sense of responsibility towards the environment. This season, discover the ties that bind us to bees and the flora and fauna that surround us, right here in the city.
