Honey is rather acid itself.  (pH around 3.9, give or take a little).
Not quite as acid as vinegar, maybe.  What pH is required to inhibit
botulism?
 
(SNIP)>    The problem is that infant digestive systems are not acid
until they >begin solid foods. Acid environments will prevent the growth
of botulism.
