this may sound stupid but how can you have sugar cane honey?
Honey is a product produced by bees while sugar cane is a plant???
There is a cane sugar product with the molasses still inside which in essence is like our american brown sugar but darker and with stronger taste; It is solid and not liquid; I buy it in the US in Latino markets and use it when I may syrup for Peruvian picarones (little donuts with pumpkin and sweet potato).
Do you know what the cane sugar honey is called in Colombia?

Yes, there actually exists something called 'sugar cane honey', or better, 'miel de caña' translated into Spanish.
Although it's not honey (if you want to be precise you'd call it a syrup), in South America we call it honey.
And yes, you can buy it in Colombia, but it'll be harder to get in cities far away from the sugar cane plantation regions (southwest, near Cali).
