In the Sandhills of NC, bees produce PURPLE honey. It’s the only place in the entire world where this happens and nobody is certain why.

It's definitely not the only place in the world. There is a bee farm in Buena Park California that has several purple honeys from the specific types of flowers they gather nectar from.

To add to the berry theory, at least the story they used was that it came from the boysberries grown at nearby Knotts Berry Farm.

Knott's Berry Farm infamously tried to reproduce this though and failed. They sell purple boysenberry honey, but it's only purple because they add boysenberry flavoring to the honey.
