What is mad honey?

Mad honey is honey that naturally contains grayanotoxins. Bees produce the Turkish variety from the nectar of Rhododendron ponticum and Rhododendron luteum, flowers that contain these substances. Alongside Turkey, Nepal is a well-known region of origin; the Turkish honey is lighter in colour than the Nepalese variety. The honey was first described as early as 401 BC by the Greek historian Xenophon, near Trabzon.
