Honey is thick and sticks to the cup, so a measuring cup is never quite emptied. Lightly oiling the cup, or warming the jar a little, helps it pour out in full, and weighing it avoids the problem entirely.

What a cup of honey weighs, and why it can differ
USDA’s weight for “1 cup” is 339 g. Next to a cup of water, which holds about 236.6 g, that is 143% of the weight of a cup of water, so it is much heavier than the same volume of water. The same cup works out at 1.4 g per millilitre.
USDA lists one cup measure for honey (“1 cup”), so this page has no second figure to compare it with; if a recipe depends on the exact amount, weigh it.
USDA lists no teaspoon measure for this entry, so that weight is the cup weight divided by the US ratio (48 teaspoons to the cup).
USDA lists slightly different weights for the tablespoon and the teaspoon here: 3 teaspoons come to 21.2 g and 1 tablespoon is 21 g. The gap is rounding in the source figures.
