History

Established in 1972.

Established in 1972, we first began exporting bulk honey to mainland honey packers.

In 2004 we started packing and distributing our honey under our Big Island Bees label.

We opened our museum and tasting room in July 2012 to allow people to learn more about bees, beekeeping, and the effort involved in bringing honey to your table.
