Sigh. Your an idiot.
The hyperosmolatity of honey (due to the fact that it is almost completely concentrated sugar) makes it impossible for any living microorganism to live in it. If they try water is immediately leached from their cell body and they shrivel and die.
There are bacteria that have developed ways of living in other hyperosmotic environments; however, there has yet to be one that can in honey. Maybe one day there will and than honey won't be permanently sterile.
A burger should have no property that should make it impervious to decay. It defies biology.
