What is fireweed honey and where does it come from?

Answer by  teal (33)

Fireweed honey, or the "champagne of honeys", results from bees pollinating the redish purple colored fireweed flora found in the cool climate and higher elevations of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Fireweed blooms after fires or in damaged soil approximately every two years for a duration of about one week and requires less than fifty percent humidity.
