Make sure to sex all the guinea pigs after they are born, and double check again to make sure that you got it right. You'll have to take all the male babies out of her cage at around 5 or 6 weeks or she will become pregnant again.
Since she is pregnant, keep her on alfalfa hay!
Here are some good sites to take a loot at:
http://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm - that one is on sexing the guinea pigs. Take a loot at it so you don't get Honey pregant again.
http://www.cavyspirit.com/breeding.htm - That page is on breeding. That site is very against breeding, though. But they do have some good tips.
http://www.cavyspirit.com/neutering.htm - That page is on nuetering and spaying. I woudn't suggest spaying Honey, though. Spaying a female is much more complicated than nuetering a male. If you do want to keep her with one of her sons, get the male nuetered, but don't leave him with her, keep him in a different cage until a week or two after the surgery.
http://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm#Unplanned - that part of the page is on unplanned litters.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
