The state Department of Agriculture is collecting old pesticides to ensure they're disposed of safely; insight on caring for those with Alzheimer’s disease in Hawaiʻi; and a new documentary on the ʻakikiki, or Kauaʻi honeycreeper.

Maui ʻalauahio, also known as the Maui creeper, is a small insectivorous native honeycreeper. Adult males are mostly olive-green in color with bright yellow faces, throats, and underparts. The amount and “intensity” of yellow in these birds vary among individuals. Adult females have similar but duller plumage. Both sexes have small, straight bills.
