L’Atelier Du Miel was founded in 2013 by 3 urban young men, an architect, an engineer and a business consultant as a personal journey to reconnect with nature. L’Atelier du Miel has quickly emerged as a loved startup that wishes to share its discoveries with its customers and to help them immerse themselves in nature, craftsmanship and good taste. L’Atelier du Miel remains faithful to the same homey culture that originally started in the founders’ mother’s kitchen. The founders’ mother is still today the main chef doing l’Atelier du Miel delicacies, with the help of her own mother too.
Our long term goal is to provide local, artisanal and sustainably grown honey to a global community of health aware, nature loving individuals.
Our core purpose is to nurture life in everything that we do.
OUR MOVING HIVES
Nature is our inspiration, and we follow its ways when it comes to beekeeping. We move our bees to where nature blossoms, and harvest our untouched honey directly from the hives to your kitchen table.
The organic approach
The uniqueness of the climate, environment, and flora of every region has pushed us to adapt an organic approach to honey production and to be in line with nature. We observed and adopted nature’s ways to position our bees. Naming it the Moving Hive, we help bees move their homes to where nature blossoms, and settle wherever the riches of the 4 seasons can be found.

Honest Product, Honest Ingredients
Wholesome products are made with wholesome practices. We refrain from using intensive farming techniques, industrial processes, chemicals, antibiotics, preservatives, or any non natural ingredients. Each batch of our honeys comes from a single apiary, and it is delivered to you directly from the hive to the jar.
Innovation & Technology
We use technology to improve the experience of both bees and customers:
By using technology to help us monitor our bees’ behavior, we can have a less intrusive approach.
Technology also helps us provide a better experience and more transparency to our customers through live feeds.
The Inclusive Approach
We have a hybrid approach of inhouse production and partnership that leaves a bigger impact on communities. By empowering local communities with the know-how and technology, we ensure a steady income for families in rural areas, an improved quality of production, and a boost to the local trade.
Fair Trade
Our commitment to social and environmental sustainability is best
translated through our fair-trade practices. Our farmers and
workers work in a safe, equal-opportunity environment that
delivers high quality, ethical products, all the while respecting
and preserving nature.
Social sustainability
Our ethical honey production seeks to empower farmers, young
agricultural engineers, and students with know-how, training, and
steady income throughout our beekeeping partnership journey. In
the past two years, we have worked with leading NGOs like Aurora
and LRI to train and equip more than 35 beekeepers in rural areas,
including 25 women. We believe that it is our duty to protect
nature while maintaining a social footprint.
Environmental sustainability
We believe in the vital importance of our precious pollinators,
and we strive in following the best practices that promote and
protect their only home, nature, while preserving the homes of
other wild species. That’s why we use counter-intensive techniques
and maintain specific metrics for colony concentration per square
meter. We also join efforts with multiple environmental
organizations to promote and create awareness about the importance
of forestation and life on land. Promoting harmony between nature
and people of all ages lies at the core of ADM’s mission. to
protect nature while maintaining a social footprint.
Fair treatment of bees
Our organic beekeeping method promises a life-long fair treatment
to our pollinators. We use recyclable material, and throughout the
bee production process, we do not use any pesticides, antibiotics,
or GMO’s. We believe that following nature’s way is the only path
to sustaining our ecosystem.
