At the last meeting of the Beekeepers’ Society in Dresden Herr Bley, a 
pharmacist, brought forward the subject of poisonous honey, which he said had 
been several times imported from Trebizond ( Tliarm . Zeit., 25th November). 
He attributed the noxious property to the growth of the Datura Stramonium 
in the district from which the honey was derived, and said that cases of 
illness, in one case followed by death, had been officially established. It was 
also alleged by Herr Bley, though it does not appear upon what grounds, that 
American honey has been found to contain poisonous ingredients, derived 
especially from gelsemium.
