World's Oldest Honey

Where was the world’s oldest honey found? We thought it would be fun to look at the three oldest known honey finds in the world as of September 2019. Just think, these honeys can still be eaten today because antimicrobial honey never goes bad. The world’s oldest known references to collecting honey are from the 8,000 y

    This is true!

    This in large part because honey is mostly sugar, this means it has very high osmotic potential (put simply, making it incredibly good at sucking up water, because water diffuses into it very easily)

    It’s also exactly why it lasts so long

      Ahhh, I didn’t know that was the mechanism. So an extremely thick sucrose gel might have similar properties.
