Our Mission
We raise awareness on the essential role pollinators play by promoting ethical methods of beekeeping through conservation, education, sustainable food systems and value-added products.
OUTSIDE THE BOX: Cultivating Future Pollinators
Through the Pollinator Program, Jasmine Joy inspires children to grow pollinator-friendly habitats and instills a relationship to the โฤina (land). Initially started on Oahuโs West Side, our goal is to expand the curriculum throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

Specializing in the protection of honeybees and devoted to the livelihood of pollinators
Honeybees were introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in 1857. They are the most important managed pollinators in the US. A third of food humans consume is possible because of them. Other biotic pollen vectors like butterflies, birds, and bats also assist in the diversity of our ecosystem. Without these creatures, familiar flavors of today would be considered scarce tomorrow.
Since 2012, we have been on a wild adventure of saving feral honeybee colonies from extermination. We are conservationists and educators providing a service that is an alternative solution to pest control.
