20 Year Old Honey

[ShaneR]

Can anyone give a definitive reference for this?

I've searched without finding a reliable source.

I have found one reference so far, honey was found in the tomb of Yuya

Looks a lot more likely to be authentic than the other references.

Did you get to see the outcome of the tests ?
---------------------------------------------------
Chenobyl explosion was april 1986 . I went to the heather later that year and that honey was found to have Caesium 137 at 97 bq/kg. Can't remember exactly the other figures but prior to 1986 the levels were low but not zero (the bees were on moorland about 60 miles due East of Sellafield). By 1988 I think the figures had dropped below 30 bq/kg. I can't find the document from the analyst and may have given it away.

That will do for me, ShaneR.

Thank you very much.

The tomb seems to be about 3,500 years old.
Clearly, they should be prosecuted for not having a "best before" date on, or a sticker referring to granulation, as the honey is described as "almost liquid".

I appreciate you taking the time to research this, ShaneR.
