Aloha and welcome to the unofficial, un-endorsed web page to share information about Hawaii Honey Bees and relevant information. This site is not affiliated with any government agency or other organization and has been developed in a purely personal capacity to make helpful resources available. Some of what is written here is educated guesses, professional opinions, and hearsay.  Scientific data and references will be included anytime it is available, but many opinions written here are just that - opinions.

This evolving website will be updated to address new problems, worries and concerns which may become issues to Hawaii’s beekeepers. Hopefully it will become a repository of all things related to honey bees in Hawaii. I welcome comments, suggestions and questions so please contact me at ddowney@hawaii.edu if you have any questions or suggestions. 

The best place to start is the FAQ section.  You will find answers to many of the questions you might have.
