Last week I did a saison style ale but used 1oz wormwood for bittering instead of hops (I did use a couple ozs hops for flav & aroma). Just transferred it over to secondary and it's undrinkably bitter!! I know it should soften with age, but I was thinking about dumping 2 or 3 lbs of honey into secondary now and let her ferment again for a few weeks. 
Then bottle and age for a month. I figure the honey's sweetness and increased alcohol will help balance the bitter. Any thoughts? Oh, I also added heather tips & flowers last 5 min of boil and dry steeping 1oz heater too, and 10oz dark candi sugar at 15 min. Not your average brew...
Thanks!
