Beehives on the roof of Hotel Florence Nice
Honey made from hives on the roof of the Hotel Florence Nice
Hotel Florence Nice contributes to the protection of bees and the development of honeybee colonies with the installation of 3 hives on the roof of the hotel. Every year, our colony of thousands of bees produces an average of 40 kilos of honey "Made in Nice".
In Nice, our bees come and go between the Promenade du Paillon, the Albert 1st Gardens, the various parks of Nice and the flowered balconies of the neighbours of the hotel. A single bee can visit nearly 700 flowers in one hour. In the city, bees enjoy better conditions than in the country because there are fewer hornets and no pesticide.

At Hotel Florence Nice, worker bees are busy year round to produce their honey and a local beekeeper regularly comes to check that everything is fine.
This strong commitment enables us to raise the awareness of the employees and guests of the hotel about the protection of the environment.
Towards a more sustainable tourism in Nice
Hotel Florence Nice is not stopping there, its commitment towards sustainable development is continuously evolving with a focus on responsible tourism.
Every year, over 5 million visitors come to visit Nice. Tourism is the motor of Nice's economy and is the region's principal employer. But it also represents a major environmental impact with excessive consumption of natural resources and the increase of many different factors of pollution.
The city of Nice is establishing several environmental actions within the scope of a responsible tourism programme that Hotel Florence Nice adheres to. In fact, the hotel undertakes to respect its environment to preserve the exceptional setting of Nice.
