Product Description

Makes a wonderful gift set.

Big Island Bees honey is produced on the island of Hawaii. The “Big Island” is the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, and it possesses an incredible diversity of micro-climates, from desert to rainforest, along with two of the tallest mountain peaks of the Pacific, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The bees forage in the lush secluded ‘Ohi’a forests and the open ranch lands along the volcanic mountain slopes throughout the island.

Big Island Bees is run by Garnett Puett, a fourth generation beekeeper. It is the largest honey operation in the islands, with approximately 3,800 hives.
The hives are moved three times a year corresponding with the blossoming of the different flowers, although there really aren’t distinct areas of the island to which the flowers are limited.

Each honey’s distinctive flavor and color varies depending on the species of flower from which the honeybees collect nectar. Location, sunshine, rainfall and temperature influence a honey’s character. Each of their mono-varietals is derived from a single and unique type of flower blossoming at different times of the year and in different locations on the island.

Organic Christmasberry (Wilelaiki) Blossom honey comes from the Christmasberry – also known as Wilelaika – tree found growing abundantly on the leeward side of the island. The honey is a beautiful light amber with a sweet slightly spicy flavor.

Organic ‘Ohi’a Lehua Blossom honey is made from the blossom of the native ‘Ohi’a tree. Ancient Hawaiians considered this tree sacred and carved temple images from its branches. Very rare, this honey is prized by connoisseurs for its light, delicate flavor and creamy texture.

Macadamia Blossom honey has a rich, velvety feel with a sweet, slightly nutty flavor. It is marvelous for pouring onto waffles and pancakes.
