Then you are wasting your time talking to the wrong bakeries. 
What you want is an "artisan baker", someone who is not as 
worried about "low cost" as about quality.  These bakeries 
tend to be smaller concerns.

> ...non-honey ingredients in pro-honey products

I've been trying to keep up with the packaged food
fraud of adding perceived value by putting the word
"Honey" in large letters on the box, but putting
little or no actual honey in the boxes.  The goal 
here is to inform, ridicule, and shame, so we call it 
"The Wall Of Shame".

> ..."Super Sugar Crisp"

Well, at least they were up front about the type
of sweetener used, so they have not been nailed
up on the Wall Of Shame.  

They changed the name to "Golden Crisp" when sugar 
suddenly became a "bad thing", and then stopped
selling it in most of the US.  One can still buy it
in Canada, and via mail-order.

The amazing thing is that they actually DO use
honey in "Super Sugar Crisp", yet unlike everything 
from "Honey Bunches Of Oats" to "Honey Smacks", they
do NOT mention "honey" on the front of the box
("Ingredients: Sugar, Wheat, Corn Syrup, Partially 
Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Honey, Caramel Color, 
Salt, Vitamins and Minerals")
