'presents' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

''a taste of honey'?' is the wordplay.
''a taste' becomes 'sweet' (sweet is a kind of taste).
'of honey'?' becomes 'ens' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sweet'+'ens'='SWEETENS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sweetens that I've seen before include "Wee nests (anag.)" , "Sugars" .)
