Why go after honey? It must be good for something if they want it gone.
Honey is something you can put in a clean jar, shove on a shelf, and go back 10 years later and it's still good.
It may crystallize, but gently heating it will liquify again.
You can also place meats or pretty much anything you wish to keep from going bad into honey. It will keep it good without refrigeration
They found honey in a cave that was like a jillion years old and still eatable. My guess they not after the honey, but after what bees do or are: a key to all growing plants, flowers and fruits. Insane, but who knows nowadays.
10 years is just kind of a placeholder number, I remember mom being given honey that had probably sat in a cupboard for 2-3 times longer and was usable without issue.
As long as it doesn't get something in it that can be dangerous (chemicals, etc.) it's probably good far far longer.
It makes people's immune system strong.
Not the honey, the pollinators for everything else. If you can't get rid of farms, you can eliminate what makes the food grow.
