I wrote about bees' dance yesterday, but I will write about honey today.
Honey, which is produced by mixing nectar and bees' enzyme, is known as a food that will never rot.
The reason is because the sugar concentration is high and the water content is low.
When the sugar concentration is high, bacteria can't survive.
When the water content is low, fungus can't reproduce.
In fact, Dr. Davis found a 3300-year-old honey jar from an Egyptian tomb, but the quality hasn't deteriorated.
By the way, the honey amount that a bee can collect using its whole lifetime is around 5 grams(a spoonful of honey).

蜂蜜の雑学
昨日はミツバチのダンスについて書きましたが、今日は蜂蜜の雑学について書こうと思います。
ミツバチが花の蜜と自身の酵素を混ぜることで生成される蜂蜜は、唯一の腐らない食料として知られています。
その理由は、糖濃度が高いことと、水分が少ないことに起因します。
糖濃度が高いとバクテリアは生存できず、水分が少ないとカビは繁殖できません。
実際、T.M.デービス博士がエジプトの墳墓から約3300年前の蜂蜜瓶を発見しましたが、品質は劣化していなかったそうです。
ちなみに、一匹のミツバチがが一生かけて集める蜂蜜の量は、5グラム（スプーン一杯）程度だそうです。

It's interesting that, even though it never goes bad, honey still has an expiration date when it's sold in supermarkets.

Thank you so much for correcting my post! :)
Haha, yes indeed. In Japan, to display the expiration date is obliged by law, and the period is usually 2-3 years. It is said that the honey flavor will be degraded gradually during the period.
