Field of Fireweed orange and this late-summer jaunt livedI learned of a man who brings his bees into the Pass every summer so they can be closer to ample fireweeda tall, fast growing wildflower with vibrant pink to purple flowers. Fireweed provides an abundant and easily accessible food source for bees and its nectar creates a distinct flavour in the honey thats popular among beekeepers and honey enthusiasts. See my image, Honey, You Look Good on Bee, for a close up of honey bees hard at work.
