I wouldn't think any more than molasses, which is nill.

I don't know man, I'm scared of bears.

JK, but seriously, honey doesn't have all of the micro nutrients that molasses does.
Also, honey is a bit more expensive than molasses and if you did use honey, the only one worth using is RAW, unheathed, and unfiltered, otherwise it isn't anything useful. Honey is nature's antibiotic/anti-fungus. It'll kill the bacteria and anything else in the soil if not most things just like peroxide. Awhile ago, I was with a friend of mine who grows for medical dispensaries and he was experimenting and sampled runoff from honey added to water drenched soil and looked under the microscope. In comparison, things stopped moving compared to the regular soil runoff sample or the molasses runoff sample.

hmmm. i thought it was just about the sugar that feeds the microbes.

mushroom head is correct ...

on the topic of compost tea. i read the best vegetable growers add humic acid to there teas. so you think adding straw to the tea would kick ass? compost+seaweed chopped up+straw+mollasses+water
In Ancient Egypt, according to archaeology as well as the account provided in the book of Exodus chapter 5, straw was mixed with mud in order to produce building bricks. Modern investigations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humic_acid have found that the humic acid is released from straw when the straw is mixed with mud and that this strengthens the material, which produces stronger bricks that are less likely to break or lose their shape.
