Wow, how long can you store honey?

I have some honey that crystallizes over time. I was wondering if that meant it was mixed with sugar and wasn’t pure honey.

Not necessarily, crystallizing is a normal process. Higher pollen content also makes it crystallize faster. However, the quick rate in which the normal off the shelf honey crystallizes gives rise to suspicion as to question what they are doing to the honey. Gentle heating dissolves the crystals.
