So the heat from the pasteurization of this honey could theoretically activate the THC?

Someone who knows more than me (OldSchoolJohnny?) could answer this better, but I think the pasteurization temperature for honey is too low. The references I've seen indicate a temperature of 145-150° F for honey, and more like 230-240° F for carboxylation.
