Marcos,
I am very glad that I dont have to do a taste testing research on honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, bees, worms and wasps before I had to do this post!
Though credible, it sounds unpalatable.

The worst I can do is eat 2 day old Pizza. I couldn't imagine testing the waters by putting 1500 year old honey in my mouth--Can you say tummy ache??
