Free to Bee Kauai

We might be a lil down this month, but we are not out ! 💪🏽
The bees have still been busy making pretty things despite the formidable challenges of an El Niño Summer & Hurricane Lowell 🌧️🌧️🌀

I am thrilled to release this beautiful batch of honeycomb— feels like sunshine in a jar honestly and it sure puts a big smile on my face ! ☺️
And also excited to see Healthy Hut Market & Café 🛖 in Kilauea is once again OPEN and shelves are now stocked with Free to Bee products! 🙌🏽
Get em while they last🌼💛🐝✨

Happy Sunday Y’all! 🌈🐝🐝🐝
It’s been 6 months since I rebranded as Free to Bee! 🎉
After operating on Kauai as McPhee’s Bees for 15 years, it felt like quite the undertaking to rebrand my entire business — but I’m so stoked that I took the leap!
Thanks to all those that encouraged and cheered me on, every step of the way.
Grateful for all my customers near & far!! …and the support of the local stores in the community that carry my products and allow me to keep doing what I love, and keep buzzing, after all these years.
Mahalo!! Manda 🙏🏽🌺🌈🐝

Happy Aloha Friday yall! 🌞🌼🐝✨
The bees have been busy making that pure honeycomb! …and I just love how this frame showcases the shift in floral source, as the seasons change and the bees build & forage. This is predominantly a shift in java plum to albizia foraging, seen here, and many more tropical wildflowers in between! 💐💐💐🐝🐝🐝🐝
Find Free to Bee mini honeycomb jars in stock on island at the following locations this weekend ✨

Happy Aloha Friday !
Hey I’m Manda Tollefson , owner and operator of McPhee’s Bees.
I’m long overdue for a proper introduction - and now feels like the perfect moment.
I’m officially rebranding my business name to something that resonates more deeply with where I am in life and that reflects my natural beekeeping practices.

Introducing …. Free to Bee

It’s been a WILD, exciting, and sometimes exhausting 14-year journey running this little buzzzzness as McPhee’s Bees, here on the beautiful Garden Island.
I’m SO grateful for every step of it!!
As with many things in Hawaii, this will be a slow change and gentle transition. Not much else is changing— just my last name and business name. The bees are still my life’s passion, and I’ll continue delivering that golden goodness to our favorite island health food stores and local restaurants, along with the same recognizable bee logo.
Its been a joy to serve the Kaua’i community and visitors, and I look forward to continuing to care for the bees as they pollinate our island paradise— now, as ✨FREE TO BEE✨

Mahalo nui loa ! 🌺🐝
Manda

It’s World Bee Day!🌼🐝💘✨
Shoutout to the little buzzers who work harder than we do. Without them, no fruits, no flowers, and no coffee!
I hate to imagine our world without them! 😱
Let’s show them some love🐝💘 —plant a flower, skip the chemicals, and let the wild bloom. We’re in this together yall!
