PRODUCTS:

"Beekeeper's Reserve, Aged in the Hive 5 Years" is a blend of honeys produced from a wide variety of flower nectars collected by wild bees in the Ko`olau and Wai`anae Mountains from Waimanalo to Wai`ahole-Waikane to Ma`ili`ili. These rich, dark honeys have been naturally aged in the hive for an average of 5 years. Aging in the hive gives the bees additional time to dehydrate and concentrate the subtle flavor and aroma of this honeys.

Crater Kiawe and Crater Kiawe Creme, Premium Amber Honeys are produced by our bees located in pristine coastal forests in Leeward O`ahu. They gather nectar almost exclusively from flowers of kiawe trees (Prosopis juliflora), also known as mesquite or algaroba in its homeland in the American Southwest. This nectar yields a rich, amber honey with a very pleasing floral flavor that is much sought after everywhere it occurs. In Hawai'i, kiawe honey naturally tends to "cream" or form very fine crystals after it has been processed by the bees and harvested from the honeycombs, resulting in a delightfully smooth, golden to cream-colored, honey that is semisolid and can be spread like butter.

Waikane Golden, Premium Light Amber Honey is a produced by our bees located only in the remote pristine uplands of sacred Waikane Valley on the Windward Side of O`ahu. They gather nectar from a variety of wild flowers including several types of lilikoi (passionfruit), Java plum, strawberry guava, lehua ohia and hau (hibiscus). This blend of nectar consistently yields a rich, golden amber honey with a very pleasing floral flavor reminiscent of the delicious fruits of Waikane.
