City Beekeeping

"Empowering Urban Beekeeping, Preserving Nature’s Harmony."




City Beekeeping is a family-owned business rooted in over 200 years of beekeeping tradition, originating in Iran and expanding across North America. Our mission is to bring beekeeping into urban areas, educating the public—especially young people—on the essential role bees play in sustaining ecosystems. Through urban beehives, we raise awareness about bee-derived products like honey, propolis, royal jelly, and their health benefits while prioritizing sustainable, GMO-free practices. Guided by our values of transparency, responsibility, inclusivity, and teamwork, we aim to inspire urban residents to participate in beekeeping and support environmental rejuvenation. Our vision is a world where bees and humans coexist in harmony, creating a sustainable future

Unveiling the City Beekiping Story



Our journey of over two centuries has been marked by our determined passion to beekeeping and the well-being of honeybees. Throughout this remarkable span of time, we have delved into various aspects of beekeeping, from progressive bee disease control measures to leading genetic programs aimed at strengthening the bee populations by regulating colony hygiene behaviours. Our expertise extends to a wide range of bee products and innovative Api therapy solutions, reflecting our deep-seated passion for the wellbeing of both bees and humans. City Beekeeping’s journey is one that combines rich heritage, a love for bees, and a dedication to producing some of the finest honey products and bee-related solutions in North America. We invite you to join us on our journey, exploring the wonders of the beekeeping world and experiencing the sweetness that nature has to offer



Our business narrative is centred around the establishment of our project at City Beekeeping, where we have brought bee hives into the urban area for specific and meaningful purposes. Our main objective is to educate the public, with a special emphasis on the younger generation, about the important role that bees play in our natural environment. Through our dedicated efforts, we aspire to introduce urban residents to the world of beekeeping and provide them with opportunities to actively engage in this unique field. By introducing beehives into the city, our aim is to enlighten urban dwellers about various aspects of beekeeping and increase their understanding of the wide range of products derived from bees, including honey, bee propolis, bee venom, Royal jelly, bee pollen, and the associated health benefits they offer


Our project was initiated with the intention of aiding in the revitalization of the natural environment that has been impacted by population growth, increased infrastructure, and the carbon footprint. We fully recognize and appreciate the invaluable contribution of bees in replenishing the once-depleted natural sources of vegetation. In addition, we have taken significant measures to ensure that our beehives are kept away from monoculture and protected from any exposure to GMOs and chemicals. This practice allows us to offer bee products that are completely GMO and chemical-free. Furthermore, we have also considered the fact that cities offer a diverse range of flowers that can adequately meet the nutritional requirements of our beloved bees. The abundance of nectar and pollen sources in urban areas facilitates the growth and longevity of the bee population, which, in turn, leads to the production of higher quality and increased quantities of bee products such as honey, royal jelly, bee pollen, and more
