Look for a bleeder valve, either on the thermostat housing or in the head near the upper radiator hose (depending on year/model). Open that until there's no more air bubbles, then open the radiator cap & add whatever you need.

If your engine doesn't have any bleeder valves then Honda believes the radiator cap IS the highest point where the bubbles always collect. Either way, you should probably squeeze & push on the big hoses to push air bubbles towards the radiator so you can get them out.
