I would be concerned about possible chemicals in the carpet itself or from previous carpet cleanings.  I would not want to get those back into the hive.  I would take the carpet outside and wash it out with a rubber hose.  And not use carpets were I process my honey!  Honey is food for humans and bees.

========================================
Yes, after scraping up as much honey as you can, Soak up more with plain
kitty litter. It has worked for me. Then scrape that out(side). You can give
 all
of this back to the bees for feed. They will take it. Now go rent a rug doctor
and stream it clean.
