>15-80% of their daily calories from honey during certain seasons; why aren't they obese and diabetic?

Maybe because it's "during certain seasons" and not the whole year around?

Also, just speculation on my part, but their daily caloric intake may be less than that consumed by a Westerner. Combined with their (presumably) greater expenditure of calories than Westerners, that sugar is not going to result in any significant health issues.
