I would be surprised if this was not from natural sources.. Some pollen
such as Corn, Safflower, and Sunflowers and I am sure others can be almost
running with oils and this can get into open honey cells.
Is it the norm? I don't think so but a lot depends on the beekeeping
pasture and what selection the bees have for pollen. If all they got is
corn or sunflowers then I would expect its normal to have some fats or what
ever in the bees honey.
