GRIS PRODUCES ITS OWN HONEY!
We make an important contribution to the preservation of our ecosystem.
Bees are an integral part of our nature. In addition to tasty honey, it is above all the pollination services of our bees that make them an indispensable beneficial animal for our ecosystem. About 80% of domestic and wild plants depend on the honeybee as a pollinator. The economic benefit of pollination is about 2 billion euros per year in Germany. Without bees, yields in agriculture and fruit production would be significantly lower.
This is why we decided to establish our own hives at our production site in Herscheid. In this way, we help to protect our ecosystem with our GRIS bee colonies and give around 75,000 to 100,000 bees a home in the summer.
The production amounts to about 30 pots of honey per year. This number can sometimes rise to 60 in the best years. The honey produced is offered to some customers and employees.
These hives are managed by one of our employees who is an amateur beekeeper.
