The honey recommendation has to do with actually ingesting it and botulism concerns. I wouldn't worry. Beautiful toy!

I agree, I've only heard about honey if it's ingested. Btw, I loveee Etsy!

Olive oil and beeswax are perfectly fine, even if the baby does chomp on these (and he/she will, I assure you). I am fanatical about anything going in dd's mouth being made in the US/Canada or Europe.
Not only would I be 100% ok with this toy set, I was actually looking at it this morning!

The high prevalence of C. botulinum in soil and in samples associated with beeswax suggests the accumulation of soil-derived botulinal spores in wax.
...

...
Bacterial spores in food are destroyed by high temperatures obtained only in the pressure canner (240-250 °F). More than 6 hours is needed to kill the spores at boiling temperature (212 °F). The toxin is destroyed by heating to 176°F or boiling for 10 minutes to 20 minutes.
...
There's always a risk for anything. You have to weigh the minute chance of botulism from beeswax coating vs known problems from plastic or other man-made alternatives....
