A sweet treat from the Big Island

September 3rd, 2008

On the Big Island of Hawaii there awaits a sweet treat waiting to be discovered. Big Island Bees Natural and Organic Hawaiian Honey “employs” thousands of bees to make uniquely Hawaiian honey. From Organic ‘Ohi’a Lehua Blossom to Macadamia Nut Blossom and Organic Wilelaiki Blossom, these jars of goodness all have distinct tastes and textures. The ‘Ohi’a Lehua Blossom is said to have a light and delicate flavor, thick and creamy texture and light golden color. The Macadamia Nut Blossom an “ambrosial” and subtly spicy flavor, smooth and viscous texture, and a light amber color and the Wilelaiki Blossom a floral and nutty flavor, velvety texture and an amber color. You can buy them separately in different quantities or a variety pack to try them all.

Their website is also a great source of information about bees that you may not have known. Some of the things we thought were interesting was 4,000 bees together weigh only one pound, they can fly up to 12 mph and they are known to raid other hives and steal honey. These are a few of the interesting facts you can learn including the “bee dance.”

So stop on over and visit Big Island Bees Natural and Organic Hawaiian Honey.

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on some ohia honey. The bottles and packaging are nice — kind of mouth-watering actually.

I wanted to use their honey in my Hawaiian gift baskets this holiday season, along with organic tea and our beeswax candles.
