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...
The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.
---Emily Dickinson

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............

Ok...so How do we find areas that have tons of rhododendrons?
Life is good...Make it gooder!

We have them in the mountains here. (north Georgia).   All along the creeks.

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.

The aborignal population here in the U.S. used the root for a toxin on arrows, spears, and darts.

No, we sneezed on them. 

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