Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to form a seasoning paste.
Rub the seasoning paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
Lay the bacon slices out on a cutting board, slightly overlapping each slice.
Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on top of the bacon and wrap the bacon around the pork, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Transfer the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin to a baking dish.
Sprinkle the rosemary and thyme evenly over the top.
Drizzle the honey over the wrapped tenderloin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the bacon is crispy.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Remove the toothpicks, slice the tenderloin, and serve.
