There are moments in life when devastation brings a new and hidden beauty. Fireweed Honey is a testament to those moments.
Each jar of this unparalleled honey is the result of bees harvesting the nectar from the beautiful pink flowers of fireweed plants that grow across the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Canada. It is without a doubt the most sought-after raw honey we offer, with short run availability due to its limited supply it is a guaranteed sellout every fall. You are sure to savor every moment this brilliant natural treat offers.
Fireweed honey earns its namesake from the first plant life to appear after a forest fire - the Fireweed. After the devastation of fire and a long cold winter, the spring brings light to the fireweed seeds on the ground. These seeds have been there for years waiting for the sun to finally shine on their time, offering them a chance to grow and thrive.
In fact, it was one of the first plants to appear after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980.
