Should be fine, but it depends on storage.
If damp then it may have absorbed moisture and may ferment.
Wax moth can be a problem if stored in a warm place, especially if there is
pollen in any of the frames.
Certain types of honey may granulate in the comb if extraction is delayed
and may have to be melted down.
