BEES is a non-profit web-based collaborative dedicated to the procuring and sharing of information on the best technology and practices available for energy, including wood, diesel, propane, micro-hydro, solar and wind, as well as technological solutions for managing potable, grey and black water in remote mountain locations. Potential benefits of the BEES initiative include environmental protection, human health protection, reduction of fossil fuel use and economic savings through reducing duplication and pooling resources and expertise. BEES
is supported by the Alpine Club of Canada, Parks Canada, BC Parks and Protected Areas, Backcountry Lodges of British Columbia, WorleyParsons, and the Improved Processes and Parameterisation for Prediction in Cold Regions (IP3) Research Network.
