Measured poured liquid at a verified bulk density of 340g per US cup, ⅓ US cup of honey weighs 113.3 grams (4 ounces). Measured using the creamed / spun honey method (345g/cup), that same ⅓ cup holds 115g — a 1.7g difference in your mixing bowl.
Coat the measuring cup with a thin wipe of neutral oil or non-stick spray so viscous honey slides out cleanly without leaving residue behind.
