I find this hard to believe, The flowers of poison Ivy are not very showy and I can't imagine bees being attracted to it. Most plants with greenish flowers are pollinated by the wind, not bees.

honey varieties to be found is that made from poison oak flower
blossoms. I have since learned that honey made from poison ivy
blossoms is delicious, too. Apparently these are only readily
available for purchase in wet states such as Oregon and Washington. I
can't find either variety here in Utah.

Does anyone know where I might find some to purchase-- either in stores
or online? I have never tried it and would like to.

Barbara's predicament brought this to mind... You would think it would
be poisonous to eat, but it's not.

I have read that the cashew plant is a cousin to poison ivy, and that's
why cashews are so expensive-- because they are hard to process, due to
people being allergic to the plant they grow on.

There are plenty of articles about it. I became interested after my friends in Oregon told me about poison oak honey and researched it. I will post some of the ones I found.

In the link above is a delicious recipe which calls for poison oak honey.
