If stored correct honey can last forever

I respectfully disinfect out my pantry once per year, and when I disinfect out the pantry, I donate all the nonperishable items to a local organization. At times, a local charity will leave a plastic tote on my door and ask that the people I was with and I fill it with nonperishable goods! So, I am regularly giving away food because it’s the right thing to do especially if I won’t use the items right away! Well, it has been 2 years since I cleaned out my pantry, however recently, I gained one of those plastic bags which forced me to pull some items out. While I was finding canned goods to place into the bags, I came across a jar of honey that I had purchased from a farmer’s market over 2 years ago! Of course, because it was a local vendor, there was no expiration date on the container! In fact, there was no label on the jar, so I wasn’t even sure what farm this honey came from, and the honey still looked good, although I wasn’t sure if honey would expire after a while. So, after I packed the tote for the charity, I did a quick search to determine the expiration date of honey. Turns out, as long as honey is stored respectfully it will never go bad and is safe to use, and however, over time, the honey will change colors or may crystallize however as long as it is in a disinfect air-narrow glass bin away from a heat source, then the honey could potentially last forever. This means that honey has no shelf life which is fine to know. I would’ve hated it if I had to toss out the bottle that I found in my pantry.
