Aloha Beekeepers and Supporters,

​

We are thrilled to announce Bee Bill 144 has made it through all the necessary steps to finally become law! A big mahalo Mayor Roth for signing Bill 144-24 into law, allowing beekeeping in all zoning districts across Hawaii Island and promoting best management practices for apiaries. BIGGEST mahalo to the office of Ashley Kierkiewicz for leading a 6+ years-long collaborative effort to develop public policy! Mahalo to the Big Island Beekeepers Association for their mana'o, to our fellow local beekeepers and our State and County partners for their commitment to working together on this important legislation. Bill 144 is crucial in supporting both local agriculture and our economy!
