1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
2. Place the pancetta on a clean work surface, place a (one) sage leaf, and a (one) mussel in the center of each.
3. Fold the left and right edges of the pancetta toward the center, slightly overlapping the sage and mussel. Then, tightly roll, starting from the bottom, into a cylinder. Secure with a toothpick (depending on the size of your toothpicks, you might be able to fit 2 wrapped mussels on to one).
4. Place the wrapped mussels on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Place the hot honey and water in a small bowl and warm in the microwave for 15 seconds.
6. Brush the wrapped mussels with the honey mixture and place in the oven.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pancetta is crisp. Remove from the oven and transfer the wrapped mussels to a wire rack to drain before serving. We like garnishing this appetizer with pomegranate arils and fresh herbs.
