While reading James Wesley Rawles book I was not surprised to find out that Honey maintains stability for years in storage. This did not surprise me as I am a hobby bee keeper myself. This in and of itself makes long term storage of honey a wonderful glucose reserve. Few people realize that Honey was found in King Tut’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Scholars believe that the honey was still stable and edible. A recent article in Bee Culture magazine discussed the issues surrounding natural bacterial static properties of honey as well as botulism toxin and raw honey. This might be a good time to reinforce that raw/natural honey should never be fed to infants under the age of two. As adults we all have resistance to botulism toxin due to long term slow small quantity exposure to the toxin. Infants, young children and immuno-compromised adults can not break down the toxin and metabolize it. That same article discussed the fact that honey has natural immune properties that lice or kill bacteria in situ. For that reason many homeopathic doctors utilize honey in the way that we utilize triple antibiotic ointment in today’s culture. Obviously this antimicrobial nature associated with honey allows for its long term storage without degradation.
