That dead yeast, apparently you can use it to make nutritional yeast. I saved this link, because I have some dead yeast as well and one of these days, I plan to try this. I would have more motivation if it was something I used more than once in a blue moon. But, a lot of people say that it adds umami. This wouldn't have the added Vitamin B-12, but neither I nor @Sir_Loin_of_Beef are vegans, so we probably don't need to get it from something other than meat.

Would you like to trade some honey for some dead yeast?

Just make sure to mix them evenly with compost or other organic material to avoid any smell or rotting issues

Would mixing it with used coffee grounds from my espresso machine work?

What a sweet offer! No thank you. You gotta dream.

I know I bought yeast just before the pandemic, I repackaged it and kept it frozen. Mine is still going strong, so far!

I've only ever kept yeast in the fridge. Never froze it. There's been times I've gone ages (years) without using it and when I do - is just fine.

I keep my yeast in the freezer and have no problem. The breads I just made in the last week have used yeast that's been in the freezer since the beginning of COVID-19. Still active.

I trim it about once a month with a weed-whacker. It is a creeping juniper.

I bought a pound of instant yeast at the beginning of the pandemic, kept most of it in the freezer and a smaller amount in the fridge for regular use. I recently ran out and bought another pound and I keep it all in the freezer and use it from frozen.

I also use mine from frozen. I use a bread machine.
