Honey should be kept in airtight containers at room temperature to retard granulation. Most honey is pasteurized so yeasts can't grow to cause fermentation.
Honey may darken a little after lengthy storage, but it is still usable for syrups and spreads.
Honey will harden after a time. All you need to do to bring it to it's original state is to put the container that has the honey, in a pan with water about 1/4 full. Turn the heat on low, warm the honey until it is in it's original state. You then can use the honey as you would normally. Honey will keep for a very long time.
I have found that honey that was bought in a metal container will turn very dark and will have a tinny taste. So if I buy honey that is in a metal container I transfer it into glass jars, fill to the rim and place the lid on tightly. You then can place the honey in a cool place. It will be content for many years.
