This article about using honey as a "fixative" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3768083/ contends that you can use honey, jaggery sugar (look that up in Wikipedia), or sugar syrup as a "fixative".
What you're doing with honey is creating a transport medium - like the chemically more sophisticated "Streck medium" and others promoted to us a few years ago - that preserves the tissue until it can fix in alcohol in the processor.
