Well, no. First, vomit is a waste product. Honey is not. It's meant to be eaten by the bees. It's their food. It's more akin to something like breast milk.

Don't leave me in suspense, dammit. I need to know the second point!

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's because honey, as a sugar, is hygroscopic, but sure, let's go with this shower thought, because who doesn't want a nice dollop of bee vomit over their pancakes? ;)

There was a study recently that showed that honey is such a powerful desiccant that it sucks the water out of bacteria's cells, killing the bacterium. That's why in a closed container it never spoils; all the things that could rot it are dead.

Just warm it up when it has crystallized, magically good as new!

Also, ever had whipped or creamed honey? It's crystallized, but really really finely.

it never goes bad in an airtight container, because it kills all the bacteria and creates an area so dry nothing can live.

The bee vomit will work to prevent infection, speed the healing of the wound, and hold the cloth in place.

While also attracting more bees!

It will go bad if you increase the water content in it, the bees allow the nectar to dry out until it has a low water content, that and they add enzymes that help cure the honey.
