Welcome to the Share a little Sweetness Tour
We’re taking our honey on the road through the beautiful Aloha State. See where we’re stopping with the tour schedule below, then follow our blog and social media to stay up to date with tour happenings.
Sure, you could grab our honey from a shelf. But that’s not nearly as sweet.
We’ll be visiting farmers’ markets and grocery stores all over Hilo and Honolulu, Hawaii. Our challenge: try to make summer sweeter for those affected by Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. Our answer: build community partnerships and add honey.
How can you help? Visit one of our upcoming produce food drives or donate online. With your help, we’ll work to make every day a little sweeter.

Every act of sweetness needs photo documentation. Here are some of our favorite snapshots from the road. Click to enlarge.

Sue Bee Honey Helps Hawaii
We’ve been sharing all sorts of sweetness in Hawaii this week! Literal sweetness, of course – honey samples and honey apple canapes – as well as the sweetness of giving back.
How so? At each of our grocery store stops, we’ve been hosting donation drives. Meaning, for every bottle of Sue Bee Honey purchased, we donated a portion of the proceeds to The Food Basket of Hawaii—a food security and sustainability nonprofit—up to $1,500.*
Fresh Produce Drive to Benefit Those Affected by Kilauea Lava Flow
A fresh produce drive, in partnership with The Food Basket and the Hilo Farmers Market, will be held Wednesday, June 27, from 6 a.m. to noon, to provide fresh produce and financial donations that will be distributed to those displaced by the Kilauea lava flow.
Sioux Honey travels to assist those affected by Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano eruption
When Mt. Kilauea erupted on May 3, we immediately thought about David Thomas, a beekeeper on Hawaii’s Big Island who is a member of the Sioux Honey Association Co-op. He is based out of Keaau, which is just 8 miles from the current lava flow in the eastern rift zone near Kapoho in the Puna district.
Aloha!
The Share Sweetness team is back in action and on the road, bringing a little extra sweetness to the great state of Hawai’i. We’re sharing free Sue Bee honey samples and tasty honey recipe ideas across the big island over the next couple of weeks. In addition, we’ll be donating honey to the Food Basket and collecting other donations to forward on to relief efforts to help those displaced by the lava flows.
Share Sweetness
The Sioux Honey Association co-op began nearly 100 years ago by beekeepers with a passion for pure, honest honey. That passion remains today, and every Sioux Honey brand – Aunt Sue’s, Sue Bee and Organic – is held to the standards set in 1921, standards our hundreds of independent beekeepers have helped us keep. Together we continue to share a little sweetness by educating consumers on bee-friendly behaviors, sharing recipes, and of course, delivering that same, delicious honey.
