Mike the EU definition states (my emphasis)
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,

As far as I know sugar comes does not derive from nectar but from ground up
parts of plants ,which having been harvested, are no longer living.

> 1.  Last I heard, sugar was still derived from plants.  (Yes, I
acknowledge that it's factory-processed.)  Even given the legal definitions
that have been cited, you have not yet convinced me that sugar-based honey
is definably different from other-based honey.
