> Shimshon and Yonasan both ate bee honey.  Not a mistake,  obviously.

Yes, but interestingly, both were assur.  One for being eaten from
the innards of a dead non-kosher animal, the other for being eaten
in contravention of an oath.

So yes, linguistically, devash can be bee-honey, there's still no
evidence that as bee-honey, it's muttar.
