Isn't it weird how out of all the foods out there, honey is the one to never spoil
Like, it's juice made for bee larvae. You'd think it'd be the easiest thing for maggots and bacteria to attack.

no dude the hive would never survive if they produced food that any old bacteria/mold/larvae could eat too and ruin their whole society. also, and im not going to call you retarded for this, but to mention maggots means you seriously thought it was possible for a fly to just show up and plop some eggs down on a hive without any issues from the bees

i mean it's one of the only foods that organisms create for themselves isn't it
stands to reason it'd be engineered to be stable

It's like 99% sugar. Sugar doesn't spoil either.

I was going to say this, then realized fat doesn't have water either but eventually goes rancid. While honey from thousands of years ago is supposedly still edible.

fat doesn't go rancid by growing bacteria though, it goes through oxidation that makes it inedible

With all the sugar the osmotic pressure fucks anything trying to grow in it. Interestingly it's one of the few foods designed as food from the get go.

its about 82% sugar
the bees flap their wings really fast at nectar to lower its water content

Honey barely lasts a few months if that.
