It used to be more or less unperishable due to its very low water content that prevented bacterial growth, but not anymore. It's cheaper to leave humidity in it, so now it should not be given to babies less than 1 year old due to the risk of botulism.

And botulism only gets there on packaging station that does honey pasteurization. All hail capitalism!

old urban legend about honey in the pyramids… that wasn’t honey, there’s no 3,000 year old honey

oh Bello you wouldn't guess who is one of the most common direct honey buyers

I'm going to guess... lazy bees?

they sure are quite badass preppers though

and they don't pay. What's Bello's opinion on customers that don't pay?

and reclaiming old honey apparently takes so much energy that in season they prefer to ignore it and go for flowers
