We are seeking a mature salesperson for our downtown Paia based boutique – Da Beehive – located at 16 Baldwin Avenue (next to Maui Girl Swimwear and directly across from Choice).
We are searching for a “busy bee” type of person – an energetic individual with a great work ethic who moves about quickly doing many things at once.
We primarily sell honey, body care & beeswax candles. Much of what is available for sale we make in the shop or on our farm.

In addition to customer interaction, we keep busy by restocking the shop, packaging products, making small crafts, etc.
We are looking to fulfill two 8-hour shifts per week (11am to 7pm Summer or 10:30am to 6:30pm Winter). We’d prefer to schedule for Wednesday & Thursdays each week, although could be adjusted for the right candidate.
