i have seen it done. a few of us were driving back from kayaking one day, and one of the guys wanted to be a tourist and get a photo of the bear. we saw an asian woman (hate to stereotype but...) grab a bottle of honey and drizzle some on her son's hand. The bear kind of sniffed at it from a few metres away, and looked like it might be tempted so we started shouting to drive it off. bad for the bears to be in such close contact, and certainly bad for the kid if he'd been mauled.
