Back in the 1950s bee scientists in Russia did a lot of feeding of
contained colonies with flavoured sugar syrups.  That is, the bees
were simply used to modify sucrose solutions and store it into
combs. The resulting material (I won't call it honey...) was then
extracted...

One could conceivably produce all *sorts* of flavoured honey like
material, limited only by what you could get them to 'take down'...
