We visited HānI Bee Farm earlier this year. I have always been fascinated by bee farms, and my interest has only deepened over the past couple of decades with increasing reports of their alarming decline. Now that I’m writing books (more on that in future posts), I even considered writing one about starting your own bee colony.

However, I soon discovered that beekeeping requires a significant amount of work and ties you to your home as much as any pet would. Given that challenge, I realized it wasn’t a practical endeavor for me—and there’s far too much to learn for me to write a book on the topic at this point.

I highly recommend a visit to this bee farm if you are in Oahu, Hawaii, or plan on visiting. Here is a brief video of the bees we saw on our tour.
