I used to be a beekeeper years ago. I read in a book called The Hive and the Honeybee, I think published by Dadant and Son, and in the chapter on various honey produced from plants they stated Rhododendron honey is poisonous to humans but will not harm the bees. This book has been used as a textbook for college courses in Apiculture so it is a well documented authoritative text book.
 
I think the idea of testing the wood in a tank with feeder fish is an excellent idea. Let us know what you come up with.
