I still  have lots of honey from last year left over. Can I extract and sell 
this honey  and will it be as good as "fresh" honey? Or what should I do with  
it?


If it is still fluid you can extract it.  Depending on the temperature  and 
the length of storage the honey may have a raised level of HMF for which you  
can test indirectly. Even if the HMF is to high to sell as table honey it can  
still be used as baker's honey.  Today I used several pounds of honey which  
must be 25 years old to make honey beer.
