Honey Bottle Exploding?
So, I just bought honey in a 250 ml bottle (I don't know if it's glass or plastic), and after a few days it explode. I bought the same honey again and again it explode after a few days. What factors affect this and why is it happening?

If you stored it in a running microwave, it might be due to the heat generated by the molten honey and no where for it to vent.

it is due to the fermentation process. High storage temperature (e.g. honey jars left in the car under the sun) could have accelerated the fermentation and build-up of carbon dioxide pressure in the bottle. A high moisture level in the honey could also be a factor. Moisture content in honey is determined by various factors, such as the source of honey (eg weather, humidity, rainfall) and harvesting process (e.g. extracting when honey is still not mature.), etc.
