Haven't got my Irish dictionary to hand, but the Welsh for honey is mel (with a little hat ^ over the e), pronounced mehl, butterfly is pilipala (pilly-pala), and I'll look up peach when I get home...

Sorry it's taken me so long

Peach in Welsh is eirinen wlanog (woolly plum)
In Irish the words are:
Honey - mil
Butterfly - feileacan (accents over the first e and second a - no idea about the pronounciation)
Peach - peitseog (prob. pronounced something like paytchog)
