Ha! Very, very strange. I don't know why it still surprises me that bees make honey from things that end up being toxic to man...

That reminds me of that time Mulder and Scully found the greenhouses full of AHBees  that were collecting pollen from GM corn that had the alien DNA in it to infect people with the stingers.....   Oh wait, that was X Files............

I think I'll trade my hip boots for chest waders. It's getting that deep. The American Rhods aren't toxic to man or bee.

No, we sneezed on them. 

Yellow fever, small pox, flu, cold, you name it.   All they gave us was syphilis.
