Image Collection for Jack’s Bee Farm Calendar Image of the hay barn at Jack’s Bee Farm. My father-in-law, Jack, built this barn by himself in the early 1960’s. Quite a feat when you realize the massive size of this barn. This is the original barn, but a larger metal barn was attached to the other end in the early 90s when this one was no longer big enough each summer to hold all the hay.

/ AMERICA, WHY I LOVE HER / Written by John Mitchum Poet/Actor / Song by John Wayne Actor You ask me why I love her? / Well, give me time, and I’ll explain… / Have you seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona rain? / Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way? / Have you watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay? / Have you heard a Bobwhite calling in the Carolina pines? / Or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachia mines? / Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar? / Do you look with awe and wonder at a Massachusetts shore… / Where men who braved a hard new world, first stepped on Plymouth Rock? / And do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock? / Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies…way up high? / Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky? / Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to the sea… / Or bow your head at Gettysburg…in our struggle to be free? / Have you seen the mighty Tetons? ...Have you watched an eagle soar? / Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri’s shore? / Have you felt a chill at Michigan, when on a winters day, / Her waters rage along the shore in a thunderous display? / Does the word “Aloha”... make you warm? / Do you stare in disbelief When you see the surf come roaring in at Waimea reef? / From Alaska’s gold to the Everglades…from the Rio Grande to Maine… / My heart cries out… my pulse runs fast at the might of her domain. / You ask me why I love her?... I’ve a million reasons why. / My beautiful America… beneath Gods’ wide, wide sky.

Full Moon Hoku / Wailea Beach / Maui Hawai’i Ko’i / Sacred Sunrise Ceremony honouring Ko’i, (the Hawaiian stone Adze) which is an ancient Hawaiian Pohaku (stone) tool still used today, which is crafted from the hardest basalt pohaku found on stone quarries throughout the Hawaiian Islands. “Highly prized by Hawaiians, for it helped to shape the world of Hawaiians to survive in the most remote and isolated place in the midst of the Pacific Ocean”. The Ko’i helped to fell trees to build canoes, build hales (homes), carve bowls, weapons and many other important implements which help and protect the people of Hawai’i Nei” This ceremony was hosted by the Maui Chamber of Commerce. My husband Jacob Mau is na Kupuna o Maui, he is a Hawaiian Elder of Maui, and he is in one of a fleet of 12 canoes on the horizon as Kanaka (Hawaiians) dance Haka and chant Olelo greeting the full moon at sunrise as they are calling in the Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elders) in traditional Hawaiian language, chanting and song. It was so beautiful. This is a presentation representative of the 12 Moku (districts) of Maui with a Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elder) representing each Moku bearing a ho’okupu (gift) of a pohaku (stone) from their moku (district) in honour of Ko’i. The Ko’i and Pohaku, the Ho’okupu are transported on the canoes with Na Kupuna O Maui, and upon their arrival at sunrise on the beach near the Grand Wailea, a sacred ceremony took place including a presentation of Maui’s 12 Moku (districts), represented by 12 Pohaku (volcanic stones) placed by their respective Kupuna on the Ahu (altar). This is in recognition of all districts of Maui and for all the people of this island beginning with Honuaula, the location where we are here at Wailea Beach, to Kahikinui, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Ko’olau, Hamakualoa, Hamakuapoko, Wailuku, Ka’anapali, Lahaina, and Kula. I have many more images to publish with more information on this beautiful sunrise ceremony so please, check back soon for updates.

Ho`okupu is used to ensure growth, increase mana (spiritual power, life force) or cause to sprout. Your ho`okupu could be your voice [oli], a kinolau [physical manifestation of deity i.e. awa, kalo, i`a] or something that is made by or precious to the individual or group making the request. A ho`okupu is an offering of symbolic significance for the occasion. / It may be a certain type of food or plant, a song or chant, perhaps even a rock or water from your homeland.
