Our bee guy, who is guiding us through the process of setting up a thriving bee colony, told us to store our excess honey in the freezer.

It does not freeze but it does jell.

We use large Tupperware containers. The square ones that you normally use for crackers.

Honey kept in this way does not crystallize.

Let it warm on the counter overnight and you can easily pour it into jars and pop the big container back into the freezer.

That’s interesting.

I would have thought that freezing the honey WOULD crystalize it.

I stand corrected, a bee guy would certainly know more than me.

Maybe it was not to keep it in the refrigerator I read. Because it crystallizes. But it could still go there, you just have to do something different if you want it liquid.

Dealing with it frozen sounds a lot easier than dealing with the crystallized version.
