Hi, want to put this one down in the next few day's, will it work or will the honey be too much? Also are rice hulls a must? If so how much does one use?

The honey shouldn't be too much. Beez Neez after all use 1/3 honey. And I think you'll find the sourness you get from the yeast should counter it anyway.
AFAIK, rice hulls are only important for high volume adjunct brews where a large portion (more than 35% or so) is unmalted grain, except sourgum, some rice, and grains which have no husk to aid in filtering.
