So, it appears that I have some honey that has started a little fermenting. Is it ok to feed this back to the bees?

I wouldn't. I put out some fermented honey once (it was really fermented) and it killed everything that came to it. Carpenter bees, japanese beetles, wasps...you name it.

It's bad for the bees, but good for you.
