There is not a generalized "honours" program at Harvard. Rather, there are the regular Latin honours (cum laude etc.) and English honours, for work in your major (or concentration, as it is referred to at Harvard) and there are some individual honours programs available within specific majors (these tend to be linked with the English honours). Most Ivy League level colleges tend to be similar in this respect, as the entire academic experience is like an honours program at a "regular" college.
However, you shouldn't trouble yourself with it, as most people who go to Harvard (and many others besides) are very proactive, and so would decide to actually go to the Harvard site, take about 90 seconds to find and use the search feature (conveniently available on the home page, of all places) to find out the information for themselves.
