Product Description
Big Island Bees produces raw honey 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.

Big Island Bees is run by Garnett Puett, a fourth generation beekeeper. He runs 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. The apiaries for the Wilelaiki blossoms can be found in the North Kohala District, South Kona, and the southern end of the island.

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 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. Their ‘Ohi’a Lehua Blossom and Wilelaiki Blossom honey have the distinction of being certified as organic by the Hawaii Organic Farmer’s Association. Generally, honey can only be characterized as organic if it meets the following criteria: 1. there have been no pesticides or insecticides within at least two miles of the floral source from which the honey is made; 2. the bees are not medicated to prevent disease; 3. the honey is packed using procedures that are consistent with organic practices. Organic Christmasberry 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.

Product Description
Big Island Bees produces raw honey 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 ‘O’hia 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. In fact, given the size of the island and the paucity of roads, one of the most difficult parts of the operation is moving the bees. In order to keep the bees docile and avoid traffic the bees are typically moved between 3am to 4am.

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. Their ‘Ohi’a Lehua Blossom and Wilelaiki Blossom honey have the distinction of being certified as organic by the Hawaii Organic Farmer’s Association.

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.
