Honey never spoils! That's because honey is naturally acidic and has a low moisture content, making it not a good place for bacteria to grow. If the honey is stored in an airtight container, it can stay in your pantry for a long, long time!
Honey was used as a medicine treatment many years ago. Because bacteria does not grow in honey, it was used to as a natural bandage to protect cuts and burns.
Bees survive through the winter on the honey that they made in the summer.
According to Mental Floss:
"A productive bee colony makes two to three times more honey than it needs to survive the winter. When harvesting honey from a beehive, beekeepers try not to take anything the bees will miss. If necessary, beekeepers will feed bees sugar syrup in the autumn to compensate for the honey they take."
