Nice try, but no: honey is not 'insect vomit.'
Honey isn’t actually created or stored in the bee’s stomach. It is excreted through the mouth of the bee: but it is not 'vomit' since it does not empty from the bee's primary digestive stomach, but a separate, dedicated, pleated expandable pouch or crop.
Good work, bees.
