The flora and fauna essay on Questlines
http://home.iprimus.com.au/pipnjim/questlines/florafauna.html
has only this to say about honey:
"Honey is the most valued of all foods, and with sugarbeet the only sweetener available. A good hive (a treasure!) can produce up to 40 kilos of honey per year. A lodge of 18 would require about 1.2 kilos of honey per day."
If people are looking up honey in the ancient world, I'd be pleased to expand the essay entry if you have a few paragraphs to contribute.
