Honey consists almost entirely of sugars, including predominantly fructose and glucose. When simple carbohydrates like these are heated sufficiently, they do not boil at all. Instead, they oxidize and break down into simpler molecules. However, a solution of honey in water can be boiled, and is part of the process for brewing mead. Such a solution may begin to simmer at about 160 F, depending on the concentration.

I think it's roughly around the boiling point of fructose.
