Most recipes for challah with honey are for whole wheat challah. Ihave never seen a recipe for a challah with white flour that calls for honey.
We do not use refined sugars or flours in our house, so I've played around with a lot of challah recipes- you can just take any recipe, and half the amount of sugar, and use that amount of honey. For instance, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, then you can use 1/2 c. honey. Really, because honey has water in it, you are also supposed to reduce the amount of water in the recipe as well by 1/4, but for challah, you can experiment and see what happens. I substiute other sweetners all the time- I never use sugar, except on pesach.
I hope this helps you a bit, if you want me to post a recipe w/ whole wheat flour, I can.

I do what ceo does. if you are substituting whole wheat for white flour and honey for sugar, you might not need to reduce water, as whole wheat flour tends to absorb more water. at least that's what I have found. play around with it, see what works for you. a bit more or less honey in challah might taste better or worse but the challah should still come out ok
