Default honey priming sugar

Hi everyone- I know every honey has a different sugar content but does anyone have a rule of thumb for ounces or cups of honey used as a priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch of beer into 12 oz bottles?

there are general guidelines for honey, but remember that the sugar content is going to vary, sometimes considerably, between different batches of honey. its not a bad idea to take a gravity reading of it and do the calculation.

Agree that honey varies in sugar content but if you're just looking for a general guideline Norther Brewer has a nice calculator that will figure out the amount needed for tons of different forms of sugar.
