It Is Produced from Rare
Blossoms
The ‘Ohi’a Lehua blossom is only grown
in Hawaii. Organic honey made from its nectar
has a mild taste and creamy texture that cannot
be found anywhere else in the world. Hawaii is
also one of the few locations in the world where
Macadamia trees grow. And, the Christmasberry
blossom, from which our organic Wilelaiki honey
is made, is difficult to find outside of South
America.
Our Honeys are Single-Floral
Do you prefer blended or varietal wine? Have you
considered this question with respect to honey?
Much of what is on grocery shelves is blended
to provide a consistent (and we think, bland)
taste. However, each of our three varieties of
honey is made from the nectar of a single type
of flower which carries straight through to the
flavor of the honey. Our three single-floral honeys
each look, taste and smell distinct. Click

Our
Honey is Unheated and Unfiltered
Our organic honey is unheated and unfiltered to
preserve the natural sugars and enzymes necessary
for full-bodied flavor and complete nutrition.
Much of the honey you will find on grocery shelves
has been heated to extremely high temperatures
and ultra-filtered to make it easier to handle
and to extend its shelf life.
It’s
Certified Organic Honey…
Our organic Lehua and Wilelaiki varietals meet
the three main requirements to be organic: 1)
Our nectar comes from flowers that are pesticide
and insecticide free; 2) our bees are not chemically
medicated and 3) we package our honey to meet
organic standards.
Most honeys are not organic because
bees in most parts of the world are infected with
a mite and must be medicated with chemical repellants.
Not ours! Hawaii’s isolation has protected
our bees, ensuring that chemical
medications haven’t been imparted on our
honey. 
…from the pristine
island of Hawaii
Our bees forage for nectar in one of the most
pristine places on the planet…the island
of Hawaii. And,
if it wasn’t enough that the environment
was pure and natural, we take our bees to forage
in some of the most remote and beautiful parts
of the island…the lush ‘Ohi’a
forest…on cliffs overlooking the Pacific
Ocean…in macadamia nut tree groves…From
those flowers, our bees collect pure, sweet nectar.
We are Honey Artisans!
To us, each jar of natural honey is like a work
of art, taking months and painstaking care. At
every stage, our 4th generation beekeeper focuses
on quality and purity so you can enjoy the finest
artisanal honey available.
Our
Bees are Macrobiotic
In other words, they eat seasonally! Depending
on the time of year, we move our bees to the areas
where flowers are blooming (these areas are called
“honey flows”) where they eat and
collect ripe, seasonal nectar.
Because of the year round warm
weather in Hawaii, there are always honey flows
at different times of the year. Other apiaries,
particularly those in cold climates, may feed
their bees sugar solutions for part of the year.
Our bees eat 100% pure flower nectar.
