>Honestly, there are far more reliable ways to spread disease than feeding honey. 

In the UK there have been regular outbreaks of foulbrood near honey packing stations where empty barrels of imported honey were available for bees to rob.	

>Finally, if one was really worried about disease in honey, one would simply add tylosin to the syrup 

Illegal in the UK.  We don't do antibiotics.  That is why we have very low incidence of AFB.
