Thanks for asking the question.
Honey is more viscous than water because of higher coefficient of viscosity. It means that molecules of honey are closer than water molecules. They experience greater drag force. Drag force is the retarding force which opposes the flow of liquids with higher coefficient of viscosity. However, increasing the temperature of liquid lower its viscosity.
Hope I helped.

Viscosity is the property of fluid which depends on the strength of intermolecular forces. Stronger the intermolecular forces lesser will be the viscosity. Viscosity is the resistance offered by a fluid to its flow.
Honey has stronger intermolecular forces than water that's why honey is more viscous than water.
