Will honey expire after 6 years?

Pure natural honey can be eaten if it is properly stored and will not deteriorate or expire, because honey itself is a natural product with strong antibacterial capabilities. If it is artificial honey or if it is not stored properly, it will turn black, grow mold, or grow insects, etc., it cannot be eaten anymore. Deteriorated honey will produce a large amount of toxic substances, which will be harmful to the body.

Honey source:

Natural honey: It is brewed by bees collecting nectar. They come from the intrafloral nectaries or external nectaries of plants. Usually what we call honey is natural honey. Because it comes from different nectar plants, it is divided into various single-floral honeys based on the flowering period of a certain plant, such as orange Flower nectar, linden honey, lychee honey, acacia honey, milkvetch honey, rapeseed honey, date honey, wild osmanthus honey, longan honey, wild chrysanthemum honey, wolf tooth honey, etc.

Manna honey: Honey is brewed by bees collecting honeydew or insect metabolites (i.e. manna) from the leaves or stems of plants. Aphids absorb the sap of plants and absorb it through the digestive system. The protein and sugar are contained in it, and then the excess sugar and water are excreted and sprinkled on the branches and leaves of the plants. The bees use it as raw materials to brew manna honey.
