Honey is a sweet, viscous food substance produced by honey bees. Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants. Bees store honey in wax structures called honeycombs.
Because of its composition and chemical properties, honey is suitable for long-term storage and basically will never go bad. That is because in its natural state it is very acidic and bacteria wil die almost immediately.
The main uses of honey are in baking, coocking, desserts, as a spread on bread and it is also used i some beverages, such as tea.
Maybe you could eat honey that is centuries old. But I wouldn't try it.
