Lloyd,
Have a look at this page:
www.airborne.co.nz/manufacturing.html#Viscosity
for some values of honey viscosity at various temperatures and moisture
contents - there is also some variability for floral sources, but not enough
to make your calculations invalid.
You will need to convert SSU to poise (centipoise is 1/100 of a poise). Have
a look at:
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/24_412.html
to see how to do this.
Regards,
Peter Bray
