Hoʻōla. to save , to heal , to thrive

Aloha! We are Hoʻōla - a native Hawaiian ʻohana on a mission to save honey bees.

We rescue bees here on the Big Island of Hawaii through live bee removal services (in lieu of extermination) and relocate them to our hometown of North Kohala.

We relocated our first hive from a water meter box near our home in 2016 and have since rescued over 200 bee colonies across the island. Our bees are happy and busy pollinating local farms and gardens, while we couldn’t be more excited about supporting food sovereignty in our community.

We produce a variety of healing honey infused with lāʻau (Hawaiian plant medicine) to nourish our lāhui. We help families take control of their health by prioritizing and incorporating food medicine into their daily diet.

Join us in our vision of Hoʻōla – where people can thrive alongside ʻāina for generations to come.
