    Max handling live removal of honey bees from our fence.
    Melissa M.

    Max is an awesome bee keeper/bee removal service! He has come to remove feral bees from our property twice. He is very personable, and does his best to save as many bees as he can. We also learned a lot about bees from chatting with him. It was a great educational experience for my son. It was also really neat to see the live removal process in action! Both times we needed his assistance, Max has been very reliable and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this company to all my friends and family! It feels good to try to save and relocate bees instead of killing them. More bees, more honey, more pollination for all our produce!

    Final gathering

    As I am eating breakfast, I look outside to see a swarm. I first thought they were locus, but quickly realized it was a lot of bees. Got Max's number from my local police station and he was at my house in less than 30 mins on Memorial Day. Max stated it was the largest swarm he had seen this year. Ahhhh!!!! Max took his time and did the job right. Along the way imparted tons of bee knowledge. Thank you Max!

    The bees swarming on our front lawn was scary, but the situation gave us the opportunity to discover Max.

    Quite possibly the worst customer service I've ever experienced with any business I'm trying to…read moregive my money to, let alone Hawaii. We were wanting to purchase local honey to bring back to family and thought to try out a small business over store-bought. ... drive out to Kailua from Waikiki at 10am. Their website says reservations are for 4 people minimum (I took a screenshot for reference). I don't think I can begin to paraphrase the interaction with the employee working on 01/09 (glasses, female) who not only was dismissive of our wanting to try honey , but she also did not offer any resolution (ie "sorry we can't offer you a full tasting but would you still like to try what we have?")- she was rude, condescending, and frankly off-putting. For the business owner who I hope reads this: Please speak with your employee. It doesn't take much to provide minimal customer service. For visitors looking for local honey: You can find so much better elsewhere. Don't need to drive out to Kailua for honey.

    How sweet it is…read more.. One thing that I do love about Kailua is they're so crafty home to many biz and this Kailua Honey that we stumbled upon that we couldn't resist and who don't love honey. You know their serious about it as soon as you step into the shop though the honey is the star of the shop but you'll find anything that has to do with it as well like beeswax candle, and various merchandise. Oh honey and with flavors from Lilikoi, Pineapple, Guava, Coconut and even Hot Hawaiian infused flavors and more to choose from but what got our attention is the small refrigerator in the back that hold something that I've never seen before "Creamed Honey" a product that we fell in love with the light and delicate flavor of coconut I can see that will go well with so many of our favorite treats. It does need to be kept chilled so on this day wouldn't work since I didn't bring a cooler with me sadly but will be back for sure. A must visit spot in Kailua where you can support small and local biz that makes your life even sweeter. Thank you!

    Super cute tiny honey bear bottles and really friendly workers at the farmer's market! Super…read morereasonable prices and good deals on 3 jars of honey

    2 stars because honey was pretty standard, their care for bees are important…read more Contacted the company towards the end of July for a small bulk order for wedding favors (event was mid Sept) and custom labels. Got the order confirmed and I wanted to pick it up in Sept at the Sunday market at castle. At the end of August, I was told my order was being fulfilled (about 4 days before my pick up date). Comes to the pick up date, and the people working the booth told me that didn't have my order. They called the office. Then I was told that my order was supposed to be picked up the day before (at a Saturday market). I told them what my emails said which was confirmed to be picked up on that Sunday. The workers mentioned that the office prob got my emails late and thought k was picking it up on a Saturday. I told them no because the emails are from weeks ago and the office confirmed it early and confirmed a few days ago that they were filling my order. They call the office again. Then tells me that they have my order at the booth but no labels. Confusing because if my order "was supposed to be picked up the day before" why isn't there labels on the jars and why didn't the workers tell me when I got there that my order wasn't there? If and big if (benefit of the doubt) my order was forgotten about, I would've felt better by having them tell me "I messed up and didn't have your order ready, I'm sorry" versus giving me odd reasons that don't add up. They told me that they could drop the labels off to me or mail it. I opted to have it mailed since there is still days before my wedding (a wee less than two weeks which is more than enough for mail to get delivered to an address on the same island). And since a few days ago, we still didn't receive our labels so we have to pivot and figure out our own labels for our favors. Out of my order, one jar was cracked and leaking, and two other jars weren't closed properly and had ants in the honey, the two boxes that the jars were in had dead ants in the box. Grateful that the market workers gave me a few extra jars because if they didn't, I would've been short. I had to clean each jar extra good and not reuse the original box due to honey leakage and dead ants. Communication and execution could've been better. Grateful for what they do for the bees though.
