      I suppose I should have known about sweet claws, but I do keep learning stuff about bees.

          Dear Jed,

          I have a bottle of liquid honey that I use on my yogurt and fruit, and all of a sudden, like from one day to the next, it has gone all granular.

          What would cause this?

          It still works, but I am curious.

          Thanks!

            Try heating it

              If it still works don't heat it yet.

              Honey is essentially a super saturated solution of sugars, primarily fructose and dextrose. A super saturated solution will eventually unsaturate and the sugars will separate out. How quickly this happens depends on a couple things. Different sugars will remain in solution for longer, and commercial honey is generally heated to dissolve all the fine sugar grains that may be in the honey. Nothing to start the crystallization (act as seed) and it will last longer. When it is no longer useable warm it to around 130 to 140 degrees F. (around 55 to 60 degrees Canadian). Over heating will harm the flavor.

                I wondered about a trigger to start the crystallization. MelMak washed the lid, and I thought it might be possible that a drop of water got inside the bottle if the lid wasn't properly dry. It was the next evening that I noticed the change.

                But would water act as seed?

                  Not from anything I have ever heard. It will happen eventually to virtually all honey. Sometimes in large hard crystals that turn the whole mass into a brick, or sometimes in very fine crystals that make what is called creamed, or spun, honey.

                    It was just coincidence, then, that the washed lid happened right before the honey crystallized.

                    This is still mostly liquid, but with tiny granules in it. I will use it until I can't.

                    Do you recommend heating the bottle in warm water if it gets so bad I can't use it?

                    Oh, and I still use Fahrenheit most days, except for air temperatures.
