As many of you know, after leaving my career in Law Enforcement way back in 2004, I followed in the family tradition of beekeeping. Moving to Hawaii, I started Hamakua Apiaries, producing some of Hawaii's Finest Varietal Honey.
Now the fourth generation is getting involved and we have expanded into Candle Making. In addition to selling Beeswax Candles on our hamakuabees.com website, we launched a new company, "Hawaiian Candle Company," focusing primarily on Hand Poured Pure Beeswax Candles,
I asking my friends, family, and followers to help with this endeavor. When Google ranks a website for "organic searches" the ranking is greatly benefited by other websites linking to hawaiiancandlecomany.com.
If you have a website or know someone who does, would you consider reposting one of our blog articles describing the benefits of using beeswax candles. Within the article are two links leading back to hawaiiancandlecompany.com.
