In partnership with the Kona Historical Society, I will create an exhibit for their museum that captures the history of beekeeping in Kona. The exhibit will include a
timeline of the early challenges and triumphs of bringing bees to Hawaii. Including how their introduction impacted native pollinators and the ecosystem. It will include a
look into commercial beekeeping as an industry in Kona from the 1950's on. We will gather and share artifacts of Kona beekeepers for display. As we tell the story of
how these industrious insects supported our Kona coffee, macadamia nuts, fruit exports as essential pollinators. Using images and video the exhibit will paint a picture of
the unique factors that make Kona an ideal environment for bees, from its diverse flora to its favorable climate. And discuss the significant economic impact of
beekeeping on Kona's agriculture. Their Industrious work has helped to sustain our local economy for generations. This project will include a museum exhibit which will
be open for up to four months, five oral histories of Kona residents who are involved in the beekeeping business and a related video, hosting a free community lecture
on the history of beekeeping in Kona, and a Kona Historical Society Huaka i to tour a bee field. We will be opening the exhibit to local schools for field trips for the
duration of the exhibit, and the exhibit and related events will be open to Kama'aina and visitors alike.
