I took some honey out behind the garage and tried to light it. It boiled, but did not ignite. Had a flame from a butane lighter on it for several seconds and it boiled and created a thinner syrup, but did not get it to ignite. I did not use a large amount and did not let it pool as a heated liquid. This was a natural honey from a local supplier (wild flower). Perhaps do more when it stops raining. Maybe heat it in a spoon free-base style and see if the heated liquid will ignite.
