Bloomberg bees take flight

Bloomberg has taken thousands of bees under its wing. We’re proud to take part in the movement for more eco-conscious cities by supporting an urban beekeeping program – currently available at our three New York City offices (731 Lexington Ave, 120 Park Ave and 919 3rd Ave), and in our Princeton, New Jersey and London offices. During the summer months our thousands of buzzing colleagues pollinate the urban flora that surrounds us and at the end of the season, we’ll harvest their honey and share hundreds of jars with our community.

We have partnered with Alvéole, a social beekeeping company, to install and maintain the Bloomberg bees. 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.

Watch this video featuring our NYC beekeeper, Madeline Zeif from Alvéole, to learn more about Bloomberg’s urban beekeeping program and why this is an important sustainability initiative for companies like Bloomberg.

The beehives at the Bloomberg office are just one of the creative ways that we are supporting environmental sustainability. We also have ambitious renewable energy and emissions reductions goals in place to do our part as the world moves towards a low carbon economy.
