Do Candles Ever Expire?

That is a good question, one which I'd never really thought about.

My first instinct would be to assume that paraffin wax wouldn't have an expiration, though beeswax might. Honey doesn't, though, so I don't know.

Some quick first-page result Google-fu has differing opinions on it. A common one I came across is that since paraffin is a petroleum byproduct it has a similar shelf life to "treated" kerosene (whatever that means). Others say it lasts indefinitely. Anyone know?
