Hello,
 
I was reading in our local paper the following article. "Don't put your
honey where your mouth is".  In the article it advises consumers not to
purchase honey from backyard bee keepers.  The article mentioned that
the suburban landscape may have flowers that produces poisonous honey.
The following plants were listed as causing problems: rhododendrons,
azaleas, jessamine, strawberry trees, melaleuca trees, agave plants or
privet.  Is this true?
 
Behind there are a lot of rabbit brush (Chysothamnus nauseosus) and big
sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) I have been told that the rabbit brush
produces bitter honey and the sage great honey.  Both of these plants
inhabit the same area.  Any suggestions?
 
Good luck, Rich
