Title: Bee keeping and rhododendrons.
Post by: gingercloverbramble on April 30, 2010, 07:16:53 am

My husband and I are very interested in keeping bees and producing our own honey.  However, we are surrounded by Rhododendron bushes here on the farm.  I have heard that this would produce poisonous honey.  Does anyone know more about this?  Many thanks.
