how does honey stay fresh and not go bad in the cupboard?

It seems like you can store honey indefinitely outside of the refrigerator. You’d think with the sugar content, moisture, and lack of acidity, mold would develop quickly but it doesn’t. What gives?

Trivia info from a science magazine: Honey is the only food that never spoils. As long as it’s pure that is.

Another little fact: If you have yeast infection in your system and you’d need to reduce/cut off sugar consumption as it feeds the yeast, you can actually still eat honey despite it being sweet. As other answers in this thread have answered – the bacteria or fungi can’t consume it.
