Nope, sure doesn't. If it crystalizes while in the cupboard, it is not bad, just place the container in warm/hot water and it will thin again. This doesn't affect the taste.
Honey has been used as a preservative for ages. In times that there were no refrigerators and there were no naturally cold places to use, we used honey, salt and oil for preserving food. Honey is practically a sort of sugar with a high osmotic value. This means it drains the fluids from the food that it's in. And not all bacteria or fungi can live on it. These organisms decrease the chances of food staying good.
Pure honey will do a great job of preserving itself for at least months outside the refrigerator.
Putting it in the fridge however won't hurt it, might preserve it even longer, but will be harder to make Sandwiches from.
Honey has been found it the pyramids after 2000 years and is still good. I don't think the ancient egyptians had Amana refrigerators.
Honey is actually the one food that will never spoil. You should keep the container sealed, and that's about it. It can be kept at any normal room temperature indefinitely.
If it crystalizes (gets solid), you can heat it in the microwave until it's clear again.
Store the extra honey in the freezer in pint or smaller jars leaving room at the top for expansion. It will not turn to sugar and thaws quickly. I've done this for years and don't waste precious honey any more.
Nectar is put into honeycomb cells. The heat within the hive helps evaporate surplus water and when the bees think the honey is ready they will seal the cell with a wax cap until the honey is wanted.
As far as I know, honey doesn't spoil. We open ours and just keep it in a cupboard! :)

One way to store blueberries once they have been opened is to give them a vinegar bath.
Once it is opened you should dispose of it. Once oxygen reaches the substance it is no longer sterile and hence using it could cause infection.
There should be an expiration date on the container. But if there's not, then it should be good for about a year unless it's been opened. Once opened, store tightly covered in the refrigerator for about two weeks, then discard if not used by then.
Scotch that has been opened will last indefinitely if kept in a cool dark place.
According to Buchtmann, you shouldn't store an opened can in the fridge once opened, as "the can dissolve into the food, giving it a metallic taste".
If you can seal the container tightly, you can still store it in a cupboard for quite a while. Unfortunately, since the extract is usually quite volatile, you might be better off refrigerating it after opening it. Once opened, the vanilla will start to be oxidized by the air that gets into the container, so you can't store it indefinitely. Most people will use it up - or it will evaporate - before the degradation from oxidation causes enough damage to ruin the extract.
Once ketchup is opened, it should be refrigerated. if the cap is closed it doesnt have to be refrigerated
store in a cool dry place away from strong light and odurs. to retain freshness once opened keep in a airtight container
At room temperature in a dark cubord once opened store in the fridge
NO!
They built a new store opened 24 hours a day
All pickles need refrigeration, once the jar has been opened.
