What is honey?

Honey is a natural product produced by thousands of hardworking female bees. They gather nectar from local flora, storing the sweet liquid into their special stomachs called honey sacs. Back at their hive, the bees work together to convert the nectar until it thickens into honey. The substance is then deposited into the tiny hexagon shapes of the honeycomb. The bees flap their wings rapidly to evaporate water from the honey, ending with the final step of capping it off with beeswax until the bees are ready to consume the honey as their main source of carbohydrates.

What makes Hawaii honey unique?

Honey itself is unique region to region based on the local flora, which makes it such a fascinating and exciting element to work with!


Hawaii honey ranges from bold and sweet to floral and delicate. Get to know our varieties of Hawaii honey a little more:


We are humbled to be able to harvest some of the rarest honey from endemic flora, the 'Ohi'a Lehua Tree with its beautiful red blossom. The fact that this tree exists only on Hawaii makes the Lehua honey a must-try. Buy Honey >

  • Golden, raw honey

  • Smooth & Delicate

  • Light floral notes


The Macadamia Nut Tree was introduced to Hawaii in the late 1800s. Today, the majority of the trees are found on Hawaii Island and the macadamia nut has become an iconic part of visiting the Hawaii Islands. We think the honey is pretty iconic too! Buy Honey >

  • Amber, raw honey

  • Rich & Robust

  • Nutty & Malty


Originally from South America, this tree was brought to Hawaii mainly for decorative purposes but soon spread across the island. It has scarlet red berries, hence it being commonly referred to as the Christmas Berry Tree. In Hawaii, the locals call it the Wilelaiki Tree, named after William Rice - a well known paniolo (cowboy) on Hawaii Island who wore a hat adorned with a lei of the scarlet berries. Buy Honey >

  • Amber, raw honey

  • Mild chestnut notes

  • Slightly herbal aftertaste


Known as the “tree of life” in South America, the Kiawe Tree was introduced to Hawaii in the early 1800s. Unfortunately, this tree has been nearly wiped out in its natural habitat in South America but is currently flourishing in Hawaii, making this honey one of the rarest in the world and a must-try here on the island.

  • White, whipped, raw honey

  • Silky-Smooth & Creamy

  • Sweet & Smokey


Pele is the goddess of volcanoes and fire, and the creator of the Hawaiian Islands in Hawaiian mythology. Our mixed-blossom honey is unique to our land as the golden nectar comes from the combination of tropical plants across the island, such as avocado trees, lilikoi (passionfruit) flowers, citrus and palm trees... just to name a few.

  • Darker amber, raw honey

  • Brown Sugar & Maple Syrup

  • Well-rounded

I saw a post online about Connect Master and the comments were full of people talking about how they couldn’t stop playing. I thought, sure, another overhyped mobile game. But I tried it and… yeah, they were right. The premise is simple: find groups of four matching face cards. But the twist is that the connection is never spelled out — you have to deduce it from visual clues. I remember spending twenty minutes on a level where the answer was ‘characters with the same eyebrow tilt.’ That moment of realization was so rewarding. I’m still playing because each board is like a mini detective case.

The way bees transform nectar into honey through teamwork and evaporation is fascinating, much like converting raw lyrics into song. I never realized how regional flora defines honey's flavor as distinctly as Lehua from Hawaii. This makes me want to experiment with local honey varieties in my own kitchen.
