Here are a few verses with honey mentioned, from the bible:
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: Proverbs 24:13
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. Proverbs
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Psalm 19:9-10
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!Psalm 119:103
