Thyme growing by hives.

erbs honey:
We have a raised bed, approximately 3' x 8' of thyme in front of some of our hives, next to the flowering oregano.  They love the flowers, and it's got to help with mites.  We have very few.
What about pennyroyal?  Is it toxic?

Why do you think it is toxic? The only toxic honey I know of comes from rhododendrons

The honey is toxic or the rhododendrons are toxic to bees?

bwallace23350:
The honey is toxic to people

Acebird:
That is interesting.  How would you know if your bees made honey from rhododendrons?
