> In years past I have just strained honey through nylon mesh strainer bags.
I am okay with the degree of clarity that brings but wish I could postpone
the crystallization that always comes to my stored honey.  Any sort of
pressurized or commercial filtration system is of course out of the question
for my operation.

All pure honey granulates. Some such as canola very fast and honey such as
Tupelo appears to never granulate as I am looking at a jar four years old of
Bill Merrit ( Florida) Tupelo still clear.

Pressure filters will remove some crystals if the honey is hot enough by
forcing the honey through a filter/ filters.

In my opinion your answer is a warming box in which you can control the
temperature. I did an article for Bee Culture a few years ago (similar post
on BEE-L) about converting an old freezer into a warming box.

The time is late and I have got an early day. Perhaps a fellow BEE-L member
will pull up the post I did on converting the freezer to a warming box for
these people.

If you subscribe to Bee Culture I believe the aricle was in the fall of
2002 (maybe 2001).

The heat limit control ( cat. no. 250) can be purchased from Walter Kelley
co.1-800-233-2899 (or you can use the thermostat from a water heater) and
the power comes from a light bulb. YOU DO NEED A WAY OF CONTROLLING THE
TEMPERATURE.

Take your granulated  honey and place in your warming box. Set the desired
temp and end of honey granulated honey problems.

100 F. will take longer than 120F but both will clear honey. Left to long
and your honey will darken.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
