Big Island Moonbow Farms is a small-scale beekeeping venture located on Hawai’i Island. Inspired by the plight of the honeybee in Hawai’i and worldwide, we have been caring for honeybees in an organic fashion since 2011.
Throughout the year we typically harvest the following honey varieties: Christmas Berry, Macadamia Blossom, Eucalyptus, Lehua Blossom, combinations of all of these varieties as flowering seasons transition, and several Multifloral blends, of which the main nectar sources are undetermined. As this is truly a natural product, every single harvest is different, even by varietal. Each harvest of honey is completely unique. Although predominant characteristics might be similar in each variety, the nuances will always be distinct. The color, crystallization rate, and taste are rarely exactly the same. This continues to be a source of excitement and inspiration!
Eucalyptus Robusta typically blooms from September through November, making this honey a seasonal fall harvest on our island.
When the nectar is foraged from a single floral source such as this one, the honey has a wonderfully rich brown and amber color, a very smooth texture, and an intense flavor reminiscent of the robust trees from which it is derived.
This honey has flavor notes of butterscotch, creme brûlée, or caramelized sugar. This varietal is sure to delight your senses!
