Dear Grace,
 You can convert honey into biogas. If the solution is very dilute, you may
have to use the process called anaerobic filter. It consists of packing
limestone chips in the digester to increase the surface area of the
digester. The methanogenic organisms settle on the chips, and as the honey
solution passes through the gaps in the chips, the honey gets converted into
methane.
Yours
