So if you have ever been up in the middle of the night fixated over the question: 'How long does honey last?' never fear, I have an answer. Honey lasts forever, at least as far back as human history and the storage of honey is concerned.
Honey has been found as a food source buried with Pharaohs in ancient Egypt, going back more than 3,500 years and perhaps 4,500 years. Even though it was stored in what passed for an impermeable ceramic container of the period, all the water has escaped over the centuries and the honey is in a totally dry state. Not to worry though, add water and heat for a few minutes and 'poof', honey! No bacteria, no mold or any other signs of spoilage. There is a natural preservative in honey and it would seem that it really makes the grade.
Next time, the 'bee dance'.
