Worse then that, honey locust are "polygamo-dioecious". In other words you need a male and a female for full seed development.
Do you mind sharing your source for honey locust? I might like to plant a few myself this year.

Wildtree has them in 5 gallon pots but they are expensive at $85 per tree.

After a little additional reading:
As long as you have a female tree it will produce the pods - which is the part wildlife eat. I havent found anything that indicates wildlife pursue the seeds; just that they eat the flesh of the pods.
I would ask the nursery if they ship trees of known sex or not. At $85 each I would pass either way.

@GAEngineer, you are welcome to all you care to dig at my place. You will need to make your own determination as to which ones would be appropriate.

They are easy to grow if you sand through the seed coat.
