Vodka is traditionally made from starches (potatoes or grain) but can be made from pretty much any carbohydrate. Everything that makes wine, beer, mead, etc. different from one another is filtered out. Some vodka even comes from processed wood pulp.

Do note that honey will not ferment naturally, as it is basically pure sugar and is very inhospitable to microbes. You have to water it down to allow for fermentation.
