Alex McLean

Alex McLean is a young social entrepreneur evolving at the core of a new global movement of local and sustainable food production. He has been in the food industry for several years: he worked on the development and growth of Crudessence, a Montreal raw and vegan restaurant chain and worked in western Canada as a commercial apiarist. After a trip to New York City, where he had the opportunity to visit several beehives in the heart of the city, the idea of implementing such a project in his hometown came naturally. In 2013 he founded Alveole, a growing company that installs and maintains urban beehives across Montreal for companies and individuals. Alex loves urban beekeeping and urban agriculture and is determined to change rooftops in cities forever.
