Our Mission
We raise awareness on the essential role pollinators play by promoting ethical methods of beekeeping through conservation, education, sustainable food systems and value-added products.
Specializing in the protection of honeybees and devoted to the livelihood of pollinators
Honeybees were introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in 1857. They are the most important managed pollinators in the US. A third of food humans consume is possible because of them. Other biotic pollen vectors like butterflies, birds, and bats also assist in the diversity of our ecosystem. Without these creatures, familiar flavors of today would be considered scarce tomorrow.
Since 2012, we have been on a wild adventure of saving feral honeybee colonies from extermination. We are conservationists and educators providing a service that is an alternative solution to pest control.
