Unlike most heavy metals, cesium doesn't really accumulate in the body. Its biological half-life is around 70 days.[1]

Also it's hard to overstate just how little cesium there is in this honey. The EU limit for cesium in baby food & formula is 370Bq/kg[2], almost 20 times greater than the most radioactive honey the researchers found.

The article is really about how sensitive scientific instruments can be, not about any danger to people or nature.
