Description
The very nature of Dickey Bee Honey Inc. business is green. There is no waste: we use the honey, the royal jelly, the propolis, the bee pollen, the wax…everything. Nothing is wasted.
Come out and enjoy a tour of the new facility that uses a geothermal system for the two-acre property. The geothermal system consists of four 600-footloops of water lines at a depth of 5 ½ feet. To compliment the geothermal system, we also invested in additional insulation. Using the blow-in- blanket (BIB) method, the walls are infused with an extra 8 inches of insulation. They also opted for R50 insulation in the ceiling.
Peter and Sandi Dickey are committed to leading environmental conservation work in the region. “We need to work very diligently to protect our bees’ existence, crops and the environment.” “Every third teaspoon of food you eat is pollinated by the honeybee,” From an economic standpoint, that means honeybees are responsible for “the health of $170 million worth of crops in Ontario each year.” – Sandi Dickey
Dickey Bee Honey will give you a taste of the benefits of green business, environmental conservation and the importance of bees for Ontario during their Green Energy Doors Open 2016 facility tour!
