A phrase that is used to describe a situation in which although the outcome may look promising, it is only structured that way by the people who actually profit from it. The actual idea behind the phrase is that the "Honey" is actually Blackstrap Molasses, which is known to be extremely bitter, mirroring the disappointment one feels when understanding that they've been tricked.
In present tense, use "The honey is black" instead.
Predatory systems or Loans are a beautiful example of this idea. Initially, it seems as though the benefits are worth harboring, but overtime, you come to understand that it either wasn't worth it, or it didn't really give you what you wanted. Especially applicable if such an instance of this has either already happened or it is too late to go back on your decision.
