The bee is domesticated but not tamed

We Love Bees

At Island Apiaries (Fiji) Pte Ltd, we believe that we are partners with the bees with which we work, and not masters. We maintain the determination that by giving bees the respect they deserve we are able to offer the finest honey and bee products available, educate the world, and inspire all people to live happier and healthier lives.

It's A Gift

Each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow. While we oversee, and protect the bees, we are not as in charge of the operation as we sometimes think. Every interaction with these amazing animals teaches us that we are not in control, we are only caretakers of these magnificent creatures.

A Lasting Partnership

We understand our role as partners with the bees. We hope to more effectively fulfill the aims of our company’s mission of creating the best products available, educating the world, and inspiring all people to live happier, healthier lives.

Build a strong partnership with your beehives, & have a long & healthy relationship forever...
