Whether you use the hot water method or the solar method, just FYI beeswax melts at 145 to 147 degrees.
You need your wax to be clean or the wick will clog up and the candle will not burn properly due to poor wax draw. There is more than honey in the wax to contend with... propolis, pollen, etc.
Some will put wax in pantyhose, slosh it in warm water to dissolve the honey and then place the wax, still in the panyhose, into a solar melter using paper toweling to provide additional filtering.
