Honey is particular as a food. It doesn't rot even if unsealed, but over time it does "spoil" and loses part of its nutritional value (and taste), mainly because of reactions involving its sugar and its water turning into alcohol, and even then it's still well edible. This is due to bees secreting a particular enzyme when making honey, in order for it to not spoil for a long time(as bees naturally don't have our means of conservation).

This is also why in-game, honey rots very slowly.
