We get that here in UK when they collect the autumn ivy nectar which crystallises quickly. I assume they cap it when it solidifies even if they have not yet got it down to 17% water. The water content can be as high as 21%; if so, we can't sell it as eating honey (must be < 20% water) but as cooking honey.
