without pasteurizing the honey risk growing something other than a lovely wine. the alcohol enviroment isn't conducive to the survival of of anything living. from my understanding many of the good things in your original must nutrient wise, survive the fermentation process, certainly in red wines, as is always in the news.
I'm afraid if you don't sterilize your must you likely won't grow wine you will grow mold, or even more likely a nasty combination.
