Depends on what you mean by 'better'. Honey is as calorific as sugar and (with a few exceptions) has the same glycemic effect on your blood sugar. OTOH, unlike sugar, it has some vitamin and mineral content (ie. it's more nutritious).

So if you want to get at least some nutritional value out of your sweetener, honey is better than sugar, but if you're concerned about your waistline or blood sugar, it makes no difference.
