Yes.

Provided it is kept in a sealed container, and its water content is less than 20 per cent, honey will keep indefinitely. It may crystallise, but all honey will do that eventually.

Honey has been found in Egyptian tombs, sealed in jars some three thousand years ago -- and it was still edible.

How long does bee honey last in a jar?

In a sealed jar honey will last indefinitely. Honey has been found in Egyptian tombs which was 2,000 to 3,000 years old and still in good condition. Honey that has been kept for some time tends to go cloudy and thicken. The honey is not 'going off', this is a perfectly normal process where the sugars are starting to crystalize out of solution. You can restore the honey to its original condition by gently warming the jar in a bowl of hot water. Be careful not to overheat the honey because that will spoil it.

What is something that seems untrue but is true?

One surprising truth is that honey never spoils; archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. This longevity is due to honey's low moisture content and acidic pH, which create an inhospitable environment for bacteria and microorganisms. Additionally, honey's natural preservatives, like hydrogen peroxide, contribute to its remarkable shelf life. Thus, the idea that food spoils over time doesn't apply to honey.
