    NEVER.
    Reheat.
    Old honey found in the pyramids has been found edible.

    Nope. Alton Brown on the Food Network says it lasts forever.

    Honeybee's honey can last for thousands of years. Tropical stingless bee's honey doesn't and therefore must be kept refrigerated if you want it to last for a long time. This is because it contains a higher nectar and pollen content than you regular honey which gives it a pleasant acid/citris flavour.

    No, honey never goes bad. It can crystallize but gentle heat will bring it back to it's regular consistency.

    No,

    due to the almost zero water activity (meaning that there is so much sugar in honey that there is no room for water molecules to be available for bacteria to use).
    Honey is great stuff.

    The honey itself will not.

    However, if you use a utensil that has other food on it, and those food bits get into the honey, they can go bad. If that happened, I wouldn't eat the honey, since it had little bits of rotten, spoiled, or moldy food floating in it.

    No, never. Liquid honey may crystalize however. But it will return to liquid if you microwave it a bit or heat it.

    When it gets cold, it clumps up but I've heard that honey will keep for years because of it's nature.

    No, honey never ever goes off, it's the only natural food stuff that doesn't. You can keep it in your cupboard for ever and ever if you wished.
    Label a jar and leave it for your great, great, great grandchildren.

    Yes. Contrary to popular belief. Though retaining its original appearance, after a while polymers within the honey begin to react with traces of sting enzyme - magnifying it to potentially dangerous levels - and causing the mouth and other mucus membranes to become furry. The result is a characteristic buzzing tone to the voice.

    No, because you never turn honey on. It is not alive nor is it electrical.
