I Was going to say about that RS.
Honey does not go off.....ever. It dries out, solidifies, crystallises, etc, but doesn't turn bad.
The Egyptian story is true, but you need to hear the full story.....or the part relating to honey.
Basically, scientists found 'offerings' of food, in the pyramids, and one of the offerings was a load of crystals. A bit of an odd food. They added water to some of the crystals, and it turned liquidy, as if dissolved. The dissolved solution was actually pure honey, as fresh and good to eat as the day it was harvested. Flavour, and 95% of nutrients were identical to fresh honey!!!
If you store honey, you can store it as long as the pharaohs have been dead. In other words, if you don't open your honey, it'll last longer than you, and your next 10 generations!!!
Pollen is an 'eternal' substance. To pollen-date an artefact is more accurate than carbon-dating, based on the fact that pollen doesn't break down over time (one of the reasons honey doesn't go off). Thus, storing pollen foods (honey) SHOULD last as long as dinosaur bones....millions of years!!! But that is only theory I've read, and it's untested. No dinosaur honey caves have been found haha.
