I don't think so, the yeasties should find their way to it... but it wouldn't hurt to give it a good stir to try to help it disolve. Just as long as your spoon is 100% sanitised.

I think undisolved honey would lead to a slower longer fermentation. However this is more of an educated guess then actual knowledge. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If you have honey on the bottom it should be fine. It should diffuse to the rest of the must. The yeast will find their way to it. I read on another thread here that you can watch the layer disappear over the next couple of weeks.

Another option, is to use a degassing rod (if you have one). It's like a long stirring stick that you hook up to your drill. I've done this, just make sure to sanitize anything going into the must.
