Why doesn't honey spoil???

I think that you are incorrect. Honey will spoil under certain conditions. \n\n\nHoney can definitely be fermented to make mead. Honey can also ferment if it is kept in too warm a condition:\n\n"Honey is hydroscopic which means that honey will absorb moisture.  If the moisture content of honey exceeds 18.6%, honey will tend to ferment.  The fermentation yeast in the honey will turn the sugars of the honey into alcohol.  This causes honey to have a sour taste.    It is recommended that if honey is to be stored for any length of time, it should have a moisture content of around 17%.  The honey yeast are not able to grow at cool temperatures.  So if honey is stored at below 50 degrees F., the yeast will not grow and are not able to grow and cause fermentation.   Fermented honey can be feed back to the bees but it is unfit for human consumption.  Honey can be frozen and that is a good way to keep honey for long periods of time.  The optimum temperature for honey fermentation is above 80 degrees F."\n\nfrom the reference web site. So according to this, honey will DEFINITELY spoil and give a sour taste.  \n\n\nAlso, if honey crystalizes, it is not near as good as it is when it is fresh. I do not know if you count that as spoiling, however.

Just a little FYI.  ANY food that comes from plants, such as flour, corn(even canned) pancake mix, bread, etc. will have small traces of bugs in it.  Disgusting, I know, but this is mandated by the US FDA.  A certain percentage of bugs and debris are allowed into our food.  I don't remember what the percentage is right now, though.  I saw this on dateline a while back.

I'm not sure however think freezing it help it not spoil so soon? If you have yahoo try typing in this information\nin your search engine.\nHave a Blessed Life

Because it the glue only sticks when the moisture evaporates once it gets exposed out of the bottle. as \nlong as it remains inside the botttle without poosibility of evaporation it will remain that way until applied.

Regular micro-grade agar is generally clear (if it's made up right), not brown.  The human mouth is incredibly dirty so if nothing grew it is probably too cold.  Needs warmth and maybe a bit of moisture.  Give it a couple of days in a warm place (not in the sun) and SOMETHING should grow!

I would jump in a pool of honey because it is sweet enough to lick off. worms are gross and they taste really bad, lol!!!!

They get cold. Actually, that is why they make honey all summer so they can stay home in the winter and enjoy the fruits..... uh.... honey of their labor.

I'd say honey has a higher viscosity.  Veg oil would have particles more loosely connected.

No, it does not have benefits.  Just as cow's milk is created for baby cows (and they stop drinking it at a certain age), honey is meant for bees to use for energy, not humans.\n\nEven though honey is a more natural substance, it really is no safer than sucrose. All the problems associated with sucrose are also associated with honey. Lowered immune system function that can lead to cancer. Damage to the vascular system leading to heart disease and adult onset diabetes mellitus with gangrenous toes and all -are at the end of the sugar freeway. There is also some discussion about additional nutrients found in honey. However, the amounts are miniscule and really not worth the health risk of large doses of simple sugars.

Sometimes insects such as flour beetles and other pests can get into food that is not stored in airtight containers.  Most cracker and cereal boxes tend to be simple cardboard, with the goods wrapped in wax paper or the like.  Most of them don't even offer a rudimentary seal.  If there are household insects about (and most healthy houses have a few, the only homes that are completely insect free are ones with massive toxic leaks or radiation problems) they can find their way into the box and thrive on the yummy carbohydrates.\n\nTo prevent it, throw out any known infested foods, carefully clean everything in the cupboards and cabinets (especially corners and cracks where crumbs linger), and store food in sealable plastic containers (i.e. Tupperware).  You then have the problem of moisture getting into the airtight containers and making the food soggy, or even moldy, but you'll be less likely to get bugs.\n\nIf it's any consolation, the little bugs and beetles that infest food stuffs are themselves edible.  Completely harmless, non-toxic and an insignificant source of protein!

They are both natural. Sugar is more practical, but honey has more nutritional advantages as well as being metabolized more slowly.

ABSOLUTE LIE. Sugar,honey,glucose,are good CULTURE MEDIA for most bacterial and viral infections.So the wound gets infected easily and never heals.Who are the quacks who keep telling sugar,honey fruits are good for wounds.?

It literally slows the bacteria that make it spoil down. It also inhibits some chemical processes like oxidation.

Googling around to equipment manufacturers, what I'm finding makes it look like they are heat sealed, so I'm assuming that it has to be a melting glue. It also has to be non-toxic since it is a food product.\n\nThe site below has fill-your-own bags that are pre-glued and sealed with and iron.

check the glucose content in honey. My father had diabetes and he insisted that he could eat all the honey that he wasted but when I had gestational diabetes I was told that honey is only slightly healthier than sugar and should also be used with caution.\nTalk to your doctor.

It is probably because of the HydroChloric Acid (HCL) in it that breaks down the food.  Maybe some type of upholstry cleaner with acid neutralizer in it would help.

It's important to know that bananas and other fruits ripen in response to ethylene, which is a gas that is naturally emitted by ripening fruit.  This is a biological process known as "senescence".\n\nSo if you keep fruits in a bag, they will go bad more quickly than if you leave them unwrapped, because the airtight plastic also seals in the gas which makes them ripen and go bad more quickly.  Seal them up if you want them to ripen quickly, but if you want your fruit to last longer, don't bag them.  Lots of grocery stores use gas permeable packaging to avoid this problem.  This is the root of the phrase "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch".
