Our Hawaii Honey Varietals |
Each is One-of-a-Kind
One of the best things about Hawaiian honey is the choice you have in taste, color, and thickness. Regardless of your preference, finding something to love with our tropical honey varieties is easy.
Our bees forage for tropical nectar in 35 locations on Oahu and the Big Island, and it has everything to do with the taste of our products. The taste is influenced by native plant species, often in rainforest areas, and carefully selected crops such as the Islands' legendary Macadamia tree groves.
Try our Unique Tropical Multi Floral, Lehua, Christmas Berry, and Macadamia honey.
We're a locally owned family company lovingly producing the finest honey varieties from Hawaii. All of our products are raw and unprocessed – a single light filtration to remove hive debris, and that's it. Our philosophy is about freshness and ensuring delicious natural flavor comes through to you.

Why Do Our Hive Locations Matter?
Where we locate our hive yards and harvest our honey has everything to do with how it tastes – and the Hawaiian Islands provide some of the world's most interesting floral nectars.
- Tropically produced honey offers deliciously complex flavor profiles
- Oahu and the Big Island are home to more than 1,400 plant species
- Rainforests, organic farms, and nut tree groves are next to our hives
We're proud winners of the Big Island Beekeepers Association's "Best of Show" prize for our exclusive Rainbow Blossom Honey, our namesake product. It's a multi-floral tropical product with a flavorful taste that's become a best seller everyplace our products are sold.
If you enjoy Hawaiian specialty honeys, you can't beat the flavor of our Macadamia and Lehua varietals. They're about the farthest thing you can buy from ordinary grocery store honey and have distinctive flavor notes that make them favorites in Hawaii and far beyond.
What Makes Tropical Honey Varietals Tastier?
Oahu and the Big Island are home to tropical forests, parks, and wildlife preserves that are home to wildflowers growing away from industrial agriculture. Much of the nectar our bees collect comes from areas like these, and their beneficial effect on the taste of our honey varieties is significant.
Rainbow Bees is a locally owned Hawaiian company dedicated to "Honey for Everyone."
When we place hive yards near agricultural areas, often organic ones, they are carefully chosen and encompass tropically grown fruits, seeds, nuts, and beans. The plant species include cacao, coffee, bananas, coconuts, mangos, lychee, and avocados.
Few Hawaiian beekeepers consider their hive locations more carefully or look after their bees more lovingly. Healthy, happy bees make better honey.
Do You Sell Raw Hawaiian Honey?
We only sell raw honey. The less that happens to honey between the bee and you, the better.
Most retailers that sell our products are "natural food stores" that intentionally stock products like ours. They select us carefully, and we do the same in return.
- Single-step light filtration
- 100-percent natural, unprocessed honey
- Hives often near wild areas or organic farms
The flavor and nutritional profiles of our raw honey have all the benefits of the islands, and we leave in anything beneficial that bees add to honey.
If you're shopping for organic Hawaii honey, we sincerely try to keep our bees away from flowers that are part of industrial agriculture. But knowing bees can fly as far as two miles from their hives, we prefer to educate our customers rather than make claims.
