Default Rhododendron and toxicity to honey via bees???
In article ,
says...

When it says say "Heather Honey" its normally because the hives have been
placed in an area where that is all that is in flower. So I assume the same
applies for other sorts?

Yes, and bee keepers will even move their hives to different crop-
forage areas for the bees.

If you ever go to a honey exhibition at big agricultural shows etc
you'll see dozens of different honey flavours from different flowers..
you can see and taste the colour and flavour differences.
