Chunk honey

[ikeepbees]

I need help with my chunk honey. For some reason, this summer my chunk honey started granulating rather quickly. I have been selling to a local market for a couple of years, and haven't had this problem until recently. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on preparing chunk honey without it granulating so quickly?

Thanks.

Granulation is a problem I have with our cotton honey. When I put comb it is it will still crystalize. I have an old refrigerator that I put a heater in and control the temp to around 100F. This will slowly melt the granulated honey and not damage the comb.

That's a great tip Mark, thanks!

For long term storage you can freeze honey (chunk, comb, etc.) It doesn't crystalize at all that way.

Another good tip, thanks tarheit. I do keep my comb honey frozen until I need it.
