Answer 1

Microorganisms cause food to go bad. The high sugar content in the honey means it has less water in it than inside the microorganism. By a process called osmosis, water moves from an area where there is more water (the cell) to an area where there is less water (the sugary honey) and the microorganism dies, as most living things need water to survive.
