Alas! Beaten to the punch. Hand of Evil is quite right -- honey made primarily from the nectar of certain rhododedron flowers can cause a fairly interesting level of intoxication, which can not only introduce hallucinations, but also "dizziness, weakness, excessive perspiration, nausea, and vomiting shortly after the toxic honey is ingested. Other symptoms that can occur are low blood pressure or shock, bradyarrhythima (slowness of the heart beat associated with an irregularity in the heart rhythm), sinus bradycardia (a slow sinus rhythm, with a heart rate less than 60), nodal rhythm (pertaining to a node, particularly the atrioventricular node), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (anomalous atrioventricular excitation) and complete atrioventricular block.

This so-called mad honey (also known as deli bal or miel fou) was used to great effect by eminent toxicologist and king Mithridates IV of Pontus in the first century BC against the Roman soldiers of Pompey the Great's army. He had the combs left out, and when the soldiers ate and became incapacitated, his army was easily able to slay them. So I say, all for the intoxicating honey!
