start your car when it is cold, open the radiator filler cap, look inside and see if you can see fluid circulating. without that thermostat coolant should constantly circulate, now you may or may not be able to see it I have never tried on a honda. if it is not circulating it may be the waterpump.
another thing i'm thinking is when your hose broke and the car overheated the first time did it run out of coolant and overheat? if so maybe the waterpump overheated and burned up.
now on my integra there is a couple little holes on the waterpump called weep holes or something, when it is shot fluid will seep out of these holes and you can know whether it is shot or not.
another thing have you ever tried getting the radiator flushed? maybe it is clogged not allowing proper cooling.
maybe at the very least there is a small leak somewhere in a hose again, check the lower and upper radiator hoses, both heater hoses, even the radiator drain plug. if you can't find anything try idleing the car in your driveway for a little while with the hood up, let it warm up and build up pressure and check to see if you notice any fluid dripping anywhere.
