Our Story
The Tolentino Family has been farming since 1982 in the secluded Lualualei Valley on the Wai'anae Coast of O'ahu, Hawai'i. After discovering a decrease in crop yield, they also noticed a lack of pollinators. Out of desperation, they started hand pollinating their vegetable blossoms in 2007. With a lot of concern and research, they discovered the University of Hawai'i Honeybee Project and in October 2008 the family adopted their first hive.
Since then, honeybees have made a dramatic comeback on the Wai'anae Coast and the Tolentinos have been blessed with a passion for beekeeping. Their honeybees forage on wild kiawe, fruit trees, tropical blossoms, and seasonal crops; producing an amazing premium honey that you're sure to love and enjoy. Mahalo for supporting honeybees on O'ahu and our small family farm.
Aloha,
The Tolentino Ohana
