In a large bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the honey and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring gently until well blended.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
Add the bread flour and salt to the mixture, and continue stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it so the top is lightly coated with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean damp cloth.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Gently punch down the dough to release the air, and reshape it into a loaf form.
Place the loaf into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover the pan with the damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
