Morphology
dip + me + in + honey + and + throw + me + to + the + lesbian
The literal parts ('dip me in honey' = make me sticky/irresistible, 'throw me to the lesbians' = present me to women who like women) do yield a rough, humorous sense of being so attractive one should be given to lesbians. However, the phrase is a creative, culturally loaded hyperbole and relies on pragmatic/sexualized humor rather than a conventional compositional pattern, so a B1 learner would only partially infer the intended idiomatic meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
The phrase dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians paints a funny picture: imagine coating someone in honey so people really like them, then throwing them to lesbians who would be attracted. So this playful line is a way to say 'I find someone very attractive'.
