They are terms of endearment, 'Honey' would kind of be used more towards romance, while 'Dear' would be more used for what a mother says to her child, or something similar.

Neither of these have actual definitions. They're nick names, or terms of endearment.

To be cute you might call someone your Honey Bear.

There's no big difference! Both of them are very cute pet names for your boyfriend or girlfriend and it's just personal preference! :)

The word "dear" is more formal, and can be used in letters to anyone. The word "honey" is generally said to a romantic partner or child.

Here are some examples:
-Are you alright honey.
-How are you dear?
-Don't forget your coat on the way out, honey.
-I'll always love you dear.

Dear and honey mean the same thing when family members talk to each other.

But "dear" can also mean "dear to my heart" meaning it is very important to you.

When you write a letter, you usually start off with:

"Dear Blaidd,"

This means you are a close and very important friend to me.

Or you could say "dear mom" etc.

"Honey" means something similar to "sweaty" or "sweetheart" because honey from bees is sweat. It's just a common nickname to show affection. You would never say "honey mom"because it would be the same as "mom mom" or " mommy mom" which doesn't really make sense.

Dear you can use with your friends, someone who's not so related to you. Honey is more used as a "nickname" to your partner, as couple.

Calling someone honey is like calling someone baby. "I love you honey/I love you baby" Dear can be used like "Dear Blaidd..." or take care dear. Both are terms of endearment

dear can be used in different situations, for example dear friend, dear dog or something like this... but honey is used with couples mostly, especially between husband and wife, for example: honey, how was your day?

In the southern part of US both of these are used as pet names/ nicknames and in that respect there is no difference.
