>>I'm guessing that?was in reference to?pure privet honey as I've never observed any particular effect on my hives as far as irratibility or ill effects.

They also say - I have never tried it - that honey that's mostly privet has a very bad taste and is not liked by humans.  There is an area of Long Island generally called the Hamptons where tall privet hedges [and expansive cedar-shingled houses!] are quite common.  I imagine if one kept hives there, one could get a lot of privet in the frames.
