Mead in Alaska

Mead, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting a honey and water solution, is made in Alaska among other places. Alaska has no indigenous pollinators that produce honey[1][2] so the European Honey Bee is imported for that purpose. Alaskan meaderies produce meads from honeys derived from fireweed, crabapple, rhubarb, birch syrup, currants, blueberries, and dandelion.[3][4]
