Not really but much will depend on the quantity, from memory a teaspoon of honey has around 6g of carbs.

Sadly honey is sugar so the answer has to be no other than in small quantity

Honey is lower GI than sugar and depending on the type depends on the carb value so anything from 4 - 6 carbs a teaspoonful.

I buy un adulterated honey from Spain, online. To be honest the honey you buy in the shops is just watered down honey/sugar. It tastes so very different. If you can get that kind of honey its better for you.
