Extending the shelf life of honey

[Timelord]

Pollen does degrade over time. It depends on the environment the pollen seeds are deposited in. Pollen that is thousands of years old can be identified even though it is sometimes possible it is no longer fertile or intact. If deposited in an anaerobic mud, it may be preserved very many thousands of years. In dry environments also it can be thousands of years old. Frozen also preserves amazingly well, but it would need to have been constantly frozen and not subjected to seasonal variation. The rate of freezing and later the thawing out will have a direct effect on the cell structure integrity. I wonder what would happen if you froze honey? I would think it would be ok but I have not heard of it being done... Probably because there is no need to, but if transported to sub zero climates or ending up temporarily sub zero, then it would be a possibility. Ummm.
