People are rarely only MILDLY allergic to a certain insect or food, so take it seriously. If he is stung, he could go into anaphylactic shock and die. Some people carry a "crash pack" containing a hypodermic of antihistamine and other medicines in case of an emergency.
If it happens, stay calm and move steadily. Call 9-1-1 if you can, but planning ahead is your best defense. I'd suggest doing a Search under, say, bees + allergies + shock. That should lead you to recommendations for crash packs and things to ask a doctor. Your boyfriend may already know some of this.
If someone is stung or accidentally ingests a food to which they are allergic and the crash pack option is there, take a deep breath and inject them! Plop down and shiver after its done, heh heh, but focus HARD at the moment. Sometimes the hero isn't the bravest person in the world, but the one who was able to put the right energy where it was needed at the key moment and react emotionally afterwards.
Of course, the best bet is avoiding those foods carefully and using insect repellent when outdoors. With a little foresight, the issue can be avoided entirely.

for someone who is allergic, being stung or eating the honey has the same affect as poison. Generally the person will start to swell up, especially in the affected area. Tongue will being to swell and the air passage with also swell starting to block the airflow. Im not too sure about the honey, but the main anti-dote for a bee sting is Adrenaline. (its the hormone released after someone has a shock or panic's). You can buy pills for it, just go to the local pharmacy to find out- you may need a prescription for it though).

It really depends on how strong his allergic reaction is. I am allergic to bee stings and was on crutches for two weeks when I was last stung (in the foot). I ended up at the hospital of course and was given medication to counter the allergy. If he is extremely allergic he should look at getting an epi pen for emergencies.

He could suffer a potentially life threatning reaction. If he is stung or accidentally ingests honey, you should take him to the nearest ER. He should also get a prescription for an Epi-Pen, if he doesn't have one. He should keep his Epi-Pen with him at all times! This won't replace emergeny treatment, but it will buy you some time until you can get him to an ER.

My daughter and my sister are both allergic to bees. He should always have an epi-pen on hand in case he is stung. A person can die within minutes if they have a severe allergic reaction.
Even after you use an epi-pen on him you will need to get him to an emergency room ASAP. Sometimes one shot is not enough.

If he's severly allergic, which I suspect he is, if even honey causes a reaction, he should carry an "epi-pen" or epinephrine to inject in his thigh if he gets stung, so he doesnt go into anaphlaxis, and have trouble breathing.

An allergy is an abnormal reaction to ordinarily harmless substance or substances. These sensitizing substances, called allergens, may be inhaled, swallowed or come into contact with the skin. When an allergen is absorbed into the body it triggers white blood cells to produce IgE antibodies.

Don't give him honey, you can substitute honey with Agave Nectar. It's lighter than honey but still just as tasty.
