A Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Funded Project for Honeybee Pollination and Farmer Education on Hawaii IslandThis website is a resource for small farmers and fruit/nut growers needing crop pollination. It provides farmers with information and access to the physical and educational resources required to obtain feral honeybee colonies (through swarm trapping or established feral colony removals), establish them in easily constructed, affordable and manageable 'Top-Bar' style hives, and succesfully manage their health for pollination of farm and orchard crops. .JPG) This project aims to promote food sustainability and security on Hawaii Island, to promote economic growth and stability in the agricultural sector, and to preserve the genetic diversity and vigor of our Honeybee population. Our project seeks to encourage careful resource stewardship of these essential pollinators by the farmers, whose ability to produce our food depends upon healthy productive honeybees.
