The honey is good. Archeologists have found 3000 year old honey that's perfectly edible.

My mother, who believes in never, ever throwing food away until you can actually see the mold growing, bought a giant plastic jug of honey that she used for most of my childhood. It got sludgier and sludgier as the sugars solidified. Eventually, you could only get it liquid enough to use if you put it in the microwave for a while. And then, even that didn't work and it was basically just a solid mass of amber sugar gunk.

So I always found that story hard to buy and now I know it wasn't true. Thanks.

Crystalized honey is still good! Crystalization is a natural occurrence for honey. Just needs to be heated to be liquid again -- though some people actually prefer it crystalized because they can spread it with a butter knife

No amount of heating made it liquid again after a few years.
