In my files at home, I do have an article re: some of the toxins from
ragwort in the nectar/honey produced. My memory of it is not clear
enough to reference authoritatively, but if no one else gives you
better info, I'll try digging it out. *From memory* it said that the
quantity was measureable but not life-threatening. But I will go and
check it when I get home after work!
