"Honeys can definitely be psychoactive at times, depending on the choice of flower pollinated by the bees. I've heard tales (not sure as to the validity) of bee shamanism in the UK, and there is an island off Wales with beehives and an unusual density of Solanaceous plants such as henbane, nightshade and Datura. At certain times of year, when the proportion of flowers in bloom is just right, the bees can produce a powerful visionary honey (or so the theory goes)."
Even if this is hypothetical in nature, the theory behind it is absolutely sound. In Spring this year I did some research on Mexican honey in Texas with a few London based biologists. These are highly social wasps, but like bees, have independently evolved the ability to make and store honey, to fall back on during hard times. In certain times, and in certain places, this honey can be intoxicating/toxic, again due to the wasps pollinating Solanaceous plants such as Datura. Despite warnings of biologist colleagues I did consume some wasp honey on a few occasions (strong, rich, smoky flavour) and alas I was not poisoned. But yeah I think this is an interesting and largely unexplored frontier. Raw, unheated, unprocessed honey is a great food, and I think this is the best form of it to obtain in the hope of experiencing any psychoactive effect; it's certainly the healthiest."

Abstract
Herein a brief review, with 49 references, of the history and phytochemistry of toxic honeys, in which bees have sequestered plant secondary compounds naturally occurring in plant nectars (floral and extrafloral). It is hypothesized that such toxic honeys could have served as pointers to psychoactive and other medicinal plants for human beings exploring novel ecosystems, causing such plants to stand out, even against a background of extreme biodiversity. After reviewing various ethnomedicinal uses of toxic honeys, the author suggests that pre-Columbian Yucatecan Mayans intentionally produced a psychoactive honey from the shamanic inebriant Turbina corymbosa as a visionary substrate for manufacture of their ritual metheglin, balché.
