Honey from Rhododendron and other toxic plants is safe for people when the honey comb cells are capped. Bees cap the honey when it has reached a specific moisture content.  The uncapped premature honey has historically made people sick, even in the last century (see "Plants and Beekeeping" by F. N. Howes)

I imagine it is similar with the Amarilids.
