Foraged from the vibrant blossoms of the Ohi'a, a very special tree endemic to Hawai'i, our bees gather this unique honey from the forests surrounding our farm in Pa'auilo Mauka in spring and summer. This light honey is elegant and sweet, with delicate floral notes and occasional hints of buttered popcorn. Our Lehua Blossom honey is lightly crystallized and maintains a delightfully spreadable texture.

MEET OUR ARTISAN: WAI MELI
Wai Meli, produced by Big Island Moonbow Farms, is a small-scale beekeeping venture located on Hawai'i Island. Since 2011, this artisanal brand has focused on the health and well-being of honeybees through organic practices. Their diverse apiary locations allow them to capture the unique nectar sources from the island, resulting in a range of small-harvest, raw honeys crafted with immense passion and care.
Each jar of Wai Meli honey is a true labor of love, embodying the intricate relationship between farming, biology, and art. Their honey is unheated to preserve its nutritional value and authentic flavor, reflecting the seasonal preferences of the bees and the specific foraging conditions. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, Wai Meli is a delightful choice for those who appreciate the natural sweetness of Hawai'i's unique floral offerings.
