Honey as a soil amendment?

I have consistent access to post-consumer honey. This has been plated and then reclaimed.
Much of it has not even been opened and exposed to air, but we get so much of it as food waste, we have to consolidate it all, so just assume for disease control, it cannot be consumed again by people.

That said, I also have 1/4 acre on which much of the old lawn has been buried in chipped wood. I’m taking the long haul free approach to soil enrichment and carbon sequestration with my property.

What I’m wondering is this: If I were to dedicate a section of the mulched property to make a “honeyhole” for insects and wildlife, would the ecological impacts be more beneficial than harmful?  Are there other and perhaps better use-cases for this honey that cannot be offered to people because it’s post-consumer?’

We get about a quart a week.

Welcome to Permies!

I don't see why you couldn't utilize honey as a fuel source for microbes? I have heard of people utilizing molasses diluted in water as a soil drench to invigorate bacteria/fungi in soil.  

I would definitely see it for feeding microbes. I'd like to feed insects and birds with it (I know there are birds that like it) but I'd be concerned about contamination, don't want to make them sick.
Just dumping it on the ground 'honey hole' style, I guess depends on whether you have bears or other honey-attracted animals (honey badgers??). I wouldn't want to go outside and find Pooh, Yogi and BooBoo all hanging out in my yard waiting for the next shipment.

I almost certainly would compost it.

Honey would work well though my first thought is that it has natural antimicrobial properties which might work against what you want to do.

Diluting the honey with water and pouring it into the compost pile might work.

I would love to hear how this experiment works out for you.

I also like Tereza's suggestion of feeding it to wildlife.  

My second thought was that it might attract ants that I would not like.

I would think there are better uses for waste honey than for the soil, unless it's completely fermented out and rotten.  For instance, you could ferment it into mead.  If you're still scared of microbial contamination at that point, you could then distill the mead into moonshine with a small stovetop still.  I've used this to convert large amounts of sweet stuff, mostly from dumpsters, but also including some bitter privet honey; into perfectly usable alcohol.....much of which was used for herbal tinctures.
