Not in the EC where under Directive 2001/110/EC honey id defined as:
Quote
Honey is defined as the natural sweet substance produced by Apis mellifera
bees from the nectar of plants or from secretions of living parts of plants
or excretion of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which
the bees collect, transform by combining with specific substances of their
own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in honeycombs to ripen and mature.
End Quote

Perhaps, for once the E.C. has got soemthing right.
