Default Rhododendron and toxicity to honey via bees???

Hiya,

I want to plant a couple of said plants - but I keep finding articles on
the web that say that honey made by bees visiting many (all?) of the
subtypes of rhododendron end up with toxic (to humans) honey.

Is this crap or is there any truth to it?

Some neighbours keep bees and I don't want to do anything unecessarily
adverse.

TIA

Tim
