Honey can last for "decades" if it is stored correctly

A beekeeper said if it is stored in a warm and dark place, it will never spoil because the conditions are similar to that of a beehive.

However, if the sweet and viscous substance does crystalise, it is advised that people place the jar in a bowl of warm water so that it can return to its liquid state.

Frank Mortimer, a master beekeeper from Cornell University and the author of Bee People And The Bugs They Love said, "Honey is the only food that never spoils and is always safe to eat.

"It can have an almost indefinite shelf life, lasting decades or longer if it's stored properly."
