Why is Big Island Bees Honey so special?
It Is Produced from Rare Blossoms
The `Ohi`a Lehua blossom is only grown in Hawaii. Organic honey made from its nectar has a mild taste and creamy texture that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Hawaii is also one of the few locations in the world where Macadamia trees grow. And, the Christmasberry blossom, from which our organic Wilelaiki honey is made, is difficult to find outside of South America.
| Our bees forage for nectar in lush forests and open ranch lands along volcanic slopes. They follow the flower blooms around the island of Hawaii, collecting nectar at its peak ripeness. As a result, each of our three pure honey varietals has a sweet, exquisite flavor and a smooth texture. And, as you will taste, each single-floral honey varietal is surprisingly distinct.

| The origin of the word Wilelaiki Our Wilelaiki honey is produced from the Christmasberry tree, which is native to Brazil and probably introduced to Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century. The Hawaiian name Wilelaiki originated from the kama¿aina rancher and politician Willie Rice who saw a group of Hawaiian women stringing leis from the berries of the Christmasberry tree. He asked for a hat lei (worn by most paniolo) made from the berries, and from then on, he was always seen with these red berry lei. Hence: Wilelaiki (pronounced Willie·Lie·Key¿) |
