Cities becoming sweet spot for beekeeping as Montreal company rents out hives

A Montreal-based company is renting out beehives to people who are interested in making their own honey and to learn more about beekeeping.

Once rented, the company places hives in either a backyard, a balcony or a flat roof. The renting period lasts one year, and costs $65 a month. Alveole staff does all the beehive maintenance.
