Are you referring to the machlokes in Menachot 58a?  If so, the gemara
there says that the only difference between them is the flesh of chatat
ha'of.  Neither of them bans honey that is not burnt as part of a korban,
or as a korban.  And the Rambam explicitly paskens that honey can be
brought up, even to be burnt, if it's not intended as a korban.  Clearly
nesachim, which are not burnt at all, are excluded from this prohibition.
Issurei Mizbeach 5:1-2.

Where is this?  Do you mean for our nisuch, or for theirs?  If for ours,
I can't find any reference to it in Issurei Mizbeach 6:8-9
