I suspect, based on the lines previous to that one, that the statement is related to the fact that honey is basically a high-sugar syrup. About 80% sugar, 17% water, and 3% "other". For comparison, simple syrup is 50% sugar and maple syrup is 60% sugar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Nutrition_and_composition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Nutrition_and_compositio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup#Food_and_nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_syrup#Food_and_nutrition
