Honey is the only food that does not spoil. In fact, this has been proven even by archaeologists, who tasted the honey that was kept in the pyramids and tombs of the pharaohs of Egypt and found that the honey was still edible. However, honey is a hygroscopic product. In other words, if it is left exposed, honey readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, expands, gets diluted, and then begins to ferment. It is for this reason that honey must always be stored in a jar with a screw-top lid, which should be sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering the jar.
