Honey is about 3000 cal per kg, beef 2900, so pretty similar. I’m more concerned that they’re not doing typical consumption rates—you could stop eating pork and eat a similar amount of beef instead (or tofu or Beyond, of course), but nobody is replacing a 200g steak with 200g of honey.
I’d imagine the average serving size of honey is 10-30g and a heavy honey consumer eats on the order of 10 servings a week. My dad was a beekeeper growing up and we didn’t go through 1kg of (free—he sold it at markets for an overall profit—extremely high quality honey) a week as a family but we went through several kilos of meat.
