No. They put honey into your fruit. However, I'd do the smart thing and wash any utensils they have landed on.

Actually they can spread mostly anything. Disease or virus particles or simply bacteria. Take a look at what's around your home for what they've been eating and at what stage and know it's potentially spread in the most minuscule amounts.
