i think what you are describing is the "best before date". the expiration date instead works as OP describes it: after the expiration the product should be tossed.

i usually see expiration dates on fish and meat. afaik honey never comes with an expiration date; the best before date is probably only relevant for the taste of the honey, not for its safety.

Oh, true, I did not realise "Best Before" exists in that way, due to English not being my first language. But yes, that makes a lot of sense.
