Bees & honey is our passion. Because it's so visual, Instagram is where we show most of our behind the scenes shots. Check it out at: https://t.co/78V9wOOQnR

Did you know? Honey bees cannot pollinate every flower that produces nectar. Flowers vary in size. Some flowers, like on the mango trees, are too small for bees to pollinate and depend on flies and ants to spread their pollen.

“This was a great non-tourist. Is it on the Big Island. We both LOVED the info that was passed along about how valuable bees are to the environment. The honey tasting was fabulous and worth every minute it took to get to Big Island Bees.”

Do your kids go to school in Kona? Talk to your teacher about having a class trip at our farm! We open a live beehive, taste honey and roll candles.

It’s amazing how light the Lehia honey gets when it crystallizes!

Bees can't see all colors. They see blue, yellow and violet, but not red or orange.
