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

Aloha, I’m Katie. I’ve been keeping bees for over a decade now, & my love for these magical creatures just keeps growing.

Over the years I’ve developed best practices for raising healthy honeybees, and along the way, I discovered I have a gift for growing beekeepers! Sharing my gifts and passion is my kuleana, it’s the heart of HĀNAI HIVES.

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.

Apiary

3. Moving Day!

If you HĀNAI a hive at your property, we’ll come just after dusk when all the bees are in their box and set up your hive.   

If you HĀNAI a Hive at one of our apiaries, your bees will be waiting for you!

And… the journey begins!

My husband and I met Katie when she saved a swarm of wild honeybees on our property and helped us start our own hive. We were inspired by her calm, knowledgeable professionalism, so much so that we asked if she would mentor us. Now we are learning that there’s a lot to learn about bees! Thank goodness we have Katie as our guide!
Diana & Jim CrittendonWaialua
We love the adopt-a-hive program! After spending hours on the internet trying to figure out things ourselves we wish we would have joined the program sooner. Katie is extremely knowledgeable and is very good with adults and children.
The Kamauu OhanaWaialua, HI
Love love love working with Katie to learn the mysterious and fascinating world of beekeeping! Katie’s expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for the amazing lives of bees is inspiring and infectious. With Katie’s guidance, I am learning constantly, fascinated with each peek into the hives, keeping Hawaii’s critical pollinators healthier, and rewarded with happy bees and amazing honey.
