Here is one source:

The National Honey Board's 'Honey -- a reference guide to nature's sweetener' 
http://www.bjcp.org/mead/refguide.pdf

says:

"The thermal conductivity of honey increases with temperature and total solids, ranging from 118 x 10 -5 to 143 x 10 -5 cal/cm sec °C"

R is the thickness divided by the thermal conductivity.
