Welcome to HĀnai hives

Join Us for a Honey Bee Farm Tour

Embrace the ethos of ‘ohana and discover the profound link between the Aloha spirit and the essential work of these tiny yet vital creatures. Our mission is to bridge the gap between our daily lives and the delicate realm of pollinators – the ones responsible for the flavors that grace our tables and the beauty that surrounds us. Join us in sharing Aloha and expanding your ‘Ohana as we embark on this journey of love and intention with the remarkable honeybee.

Our mission is simple, raise healthy honeybees, grow mindful beekeepers

Aloha I’m Katie. Welcome to HĀNAI HIVES, a journey born from humble beginnings rooted in the heart of Oahu, Hawai’i. My passion for bees was ignited in the most unexpected way – through my children’s elementary school garden program. As a group of dedicated parents, we nurtured a garden that not only yielded wholesome fruits and vegetables for school snacks but also sowed the seeds of consciousness about organic practices and sustainability. It was during a screening of a poignant documentary on the challenges faced by bees that our commitment took flight. Moved by the urgency to act, we formed a close-knit community, and with the serendipitous support of the seasoned beekeeper Mr. Glenn Perry, we ventured into the world of beekeeping. This journey continues to thrive through the Ojai Valley Bee Club, a testament to the enduring impact of shared passion. Now, with an empty nest as my children venture into the world, I tend to a buzzing family of about 75 beehives, nurtured with the unwavering support of my Hānai Hives ‘Ohana.

1. Where to begin?

Contact us! We’d love to answer any questions you have. If you decide a HĀNAI HIVE seems right for you, we’ll schedule a time to meet up to plan next steps

2. What to expect?

If you’d like you to HĀNAI a hive on your property, we’ll meet at your location to assess the space. If it’s a good fit for you and the bees, we’ll make a plan for placement and schedule a moving day!

If you prefer to HĀNAI a Hive at one of our apiaries, we’ll meet there.

And… the journey begins!
