re: "poisoned honey"

I did a little research on the phrase and found the following:

    "I was reading up on beekeeping and read about poison honey
    -- honey which made people dizzy & nauseous etc because it
    had been made from nectar from such plants as rhododendrons 
    or mountain laurel etc." 
    more info here: http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/homestead/Countryside/Wc907111ff51f6.htm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A song title - "YOUR LIPS ARE SWEET AS HONEY (But There's 
    Poison In Your Heart)" You can read the lyrics here:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A lesson to be learned:
    "Strange as it may seem, the honeybee makes her honey 
    from exactly the same nectar from which the hermit 
    spider distills one of the deadliest poisons known to 
    man. The bee's makeup allows her to produce honey, 
    while the hermit spider's allows her to produce poison.
    Only one brings a smile to the lips of a child. Two people 
    can respond to the same circumstances in completely different 
    ways."

Whatever the intended meaning, i don't think it can be a compliment to the teacher in any way, shape or form. I read it as the song title protrays...a teacher with words or actions of honey (good) but with a heart full of poison (evil).
