Re: Мед там? Is there honey?
"Is there honey?" = "Чи є мед?" – the question is about availability or existence
"Мед там?" – we know the honey should be somewhere, we're asking if it is there (indicating the place) assuming it can be elsewhere.
Re: Мед там? Is there honey?
The exercise is a question, and the contributors stick to the standard grammar, so "is" should go first.
Also the Ukrainian sentence doesn't have "цей" or "той", so "that" wouldn't be accepted either.
Re: Мед там? Is there honey?
"Is there honey?" would be a possible translation if you flipped the word order around: "там мед?" which would put the emphasis on the honey, not the location. At least, that's what I would say if this was Russian, but I guess, it works the same in Ukrainian.
