Best solutions: (That come quickly to mind)
 
1. Blend with low moisture honey
2. Pasteurize the honey so it will keep.
3. Make mead
4. Store in a freezer until needed
    or
5. Sell to a customer who is prepared to do one or all the above in a
    short timeframe ( monitor for signs of fermentation meanwhile)
