Will tobacco plants in the garden effect the bee's?

Has any one had tobacco honey?

I have never gotten to taste Tobacco honey, but our bees worked the 1.5 acres we grew in 1978.  Instead of coming from the top, like you would expect, but from underneath.  Of course we cut the suckers within a day, and that stopped.

Just how many tobacco plants you got in your garden?   Bees will have to hit 2 million flowers just to make one pound of honey.

I live within half a mile of some large tobacco fields so I would be interested to hear what experience anyone has had with nectar and pollen from tobacco.
