Hi HB!
I haven't used honey as a menstruum for Cannabanioids except in my lollipops, but my books tell me that it works well. Here is an old recipe from the 1800s.
Personally, I would treat it similar to glycerin and run both hot and cold tests in small batches.

Cannabis Elixir by James Freire, M.A.
This is a re-creation of an old remedy from the 1800’s. It involves suspending the cannabinoids in sugar syrup in what is known as a micellized solution. This is a very easy process similar to making candy but one should use care when evaporating alcohol (a distillation device makes this part very nice).
To begin, thoroughly dry the herb to be used and make a strong tincture (190 proof is best). Grind it to a powder and then just cover with alcohol and let it stand somewhere dark for a couple weeks. After this is done strain the alcohol from the herb and save it. The herb is now spent and can be thrown out. Place the tincture in a double boiler over ELECTRIC heat and reduce the volume in half. After this add ½ the remaining volume of tincture in honey or some other syrup and 4-6 vitamin E caps (e.g.: if you have 2 quarts of tincture after reducing you would add 1 quart of honey). This is when you can add other herb tinctures and flavors (I use a root beer flavor base). Continue to reduce the volume with constant stirring until you have nearly boiled it down to the original volume of syrup that you began with. Let this cool and bottle in dark glass, then store in the refrigerator. Depending on the original strength of the herb, the dosage should be between a teaspoon and a couple tablespoons.
This basic recipe can be used to create an elixir from any tincture and the basic cannabis elixir can be modified for specific ailments. For example, adding syrup of elderberry makes this without a doubt the most effective treatment for influenza that exists. Kava can be added for greater pain control and sedation. With a little study of herbal medicine you can customize the blend for specific ailments. There are many uses for this syrup, but my family has come to rely on it as our sole treatment for colds and flu when made with elderberry and cats claw.

i was reasoning this with some friends and when we check the morrocian culinary skills we note that honey and 00 hashish powder is often mixed and cooked in deserts and sweets
00 hashish powder is eze to collect
the '00' means 100mc
thats the size of the holes in the silk screen used to collect the 00 powder
simply dry the herb and then shake it over the 100mc screen
collect the powder that falls out the other side
and use it to infuse into the honey
there are heaps of videos pon utube showing 100mc screening process
do a search for--->00 Moroccan Hashish
now
i feel more confident now that THC will dissolve into the honey
and heating will be fine to speed tingz up a bit
