When I get this, it's almost always old grease that didn't get washed off properly in the first place. We have some newer storage containers that are, for some reason, really strongly attractive to grease and have to be washed very carefully with lots of detergent or they're sticky next time we go to use them.
My usual solution is to rub the whole thing with undiluted dishwashing liquid and let it sit a minute or two. Then I rub/rinse with the hottest water I can stand until it's all squeaky clean. This usually works.
If your grease is several layers deep or really old, you might have to resort to a grease cutter like Formula 409 or one of the citrus-based degreasers, followed up with plenty of detergent. I would not use solvent any stronger than a commercial cleaning spray because of the risk of damaging the plastic. I also would not scour the plastic. The scratching will make it exponentially harder to get all the way clean, and the deepest scratches can harbor bacteria (ask any home brewer who scoured his brew bucket how much it increases the risk of infection).
Honey should be stored at 50-70 Degrees Fahrenheit
Honey is similar in to olive oil and should be storaged between 50-70 Degrees Fahrenheit according to Max Shrem from Slashfood:
Similar to olive oil, honey should be stored at a cool temperature
between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. So, it's best to store it away
from your oven or stove. Also, it should not be refrigerated. Extreme
changes in temperature will spoil the flavor of honey.
Looks like this confirms that you may want to keep it in a cool place and away from hot temperature where it would cause honey to degrade in quality.
Shrem from Slashfood continues:
Remember
Do not store honey in a refrigerator or near a stove or oven.
Store it in an air-tight container.
Thus, choosing an appropriate container is an important part of the equation.
Penn State has a great article germane to this topic.
Refrigerating Honey
In the article, it talks mentions the crystallizing state of honey if it is refrigerated in no way it harms the honey at all.
Restoring honey from a crystalized form
I know this is not related to your question. But something you asked in the comments. Apparently, honey can be restored from it's crystalized form: placing it in the microwave for 20 seconds can restore it from a crystallized form.
Therefore, you can store it in the refrigerator and heat it afterwards. The downside is that if stored in the fridge too long it'll turn hard and sugary.
Proper Storage Container
Since honey has very little moisture in it it is difficult for microorganisms to grow. Thus, an airtight container is of utmost importance.
If moisture gets in the container it can be an ideal environment for mold and yeast to grow. Honey should be thrown out if it foams and smells like alcohol
Long Term Storage of Honey
Honey can be stored for long periods of time without any issue. Over time, honey will darken and intensify with flavor.
Best Answer
Honey by its very nature is sticky and will stick to any surface it will touch. If wiping away the excess honey from a container with a small hole for squeezing is not something you want to have to do, you may want to consider procuring yourself another kind of airtight container.
If being able to squeeze honey out is important, a lid with a rubber valve like below may be suitable for you. The valve opens as you squeeze the bottle and closes itself on its own when you stop squeezing, preventing the honey from accumulating too much. It works better than a plain hole, but may need occasional cleaning.
If cleanliness is more important than squeezability, a glass jar may be the way to go for you. A wide enough opening will allow you to scoop the honey out with a spoon or a honey dipper without it gunking anything up, though you'll need to be careful not to drip too much on your way out, or the lid will become sticky as well.
