> Anyone experienced with storing in really cold weather?

I haven't, but wouldn't expect any significant further expansion.  I'm not
sure just how much of the  water in honey actually freezes at -20C, since
the sugar acts as an antifreeze, so there may be some small amount of
expansion at lower temps, limited by the relatively small percentage of
water (about 17) in the honey.

Try asking Joe Carson, the distributor of Nozevit--he produces a large
amount of honey in Alaska.
