If if it 100% natural honey, then it is safe to use. !00 % natural honey has no expiry date. It can go sugary, but warming in hot water or in microwave should bring it back right. Honey has its own antibacterial ingredients that prevent it from ever spoiling
Yes, you can melt crystallized honey in the microwave. Place the honey in a microwave-safe container and heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful not to overheat the honey as it can lose its nutritional benefits.
Yes, though it is helpful if you heat it in the microwave to remove the crystals. Crystals occur when it "sugars out". +++ The honey has not changed chemically or "gone off", just partially separated. Stir it well after melting it. You can also heat it by using a pan of water as a bain-marie - heat very gently, stir well.
Modern Day Marketing Ploy: The company you bought the honey from wants to encourage you to throw it away after a certain date so that they can sell you some more! They're sneaky! However, pure honey, (not honey that has been thinned with some other liquid) does not go bad. Honey will crystallize after a year or so, and you simply put the honey into a microwave safe container and nuke it until it becomes liquid again. The same thing applies to real Maple syrup, too.
Yes.
To increase you make the honey colder and to decrease you heat the honey up
To collect beeswax from honeycomb, the comb needs to be melted in a heat-safe container using low heat until the wax melts and separates from the honey. This process can be done at home using a double boiler or a solar wax melter. Once the wax solidifies, it can be removed, cleaned, and used for various purposes.
Dogs can consume honey in small doses and still be fine.

The only true food that does not have an experation date is honey...but it does crystalize, not go sour or rot.
Honey is not a good insulator as it is a good conductor of heat due to its high water content. Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity or heat well, which honey does not meet the criteria for.
