> I have burned out one drill making cream honey.

New Zealand beekeepers pioneered the development of creamed honey
back in the early part of the century (There - I'm sure that will
bring out some controversy; list has been too polite lately!)...

The 'beaten' honey you are describing is nice, but no where *near* as
nice as well-handled 'real creamed' honey.  'Creamed honey' as I know
it is a naturally granulated product, but with the size of the grain
controlled by introducing a seed starter, then controlling the
temperature as the granulation gets underway.  There's an article
about it at http://www.beekeeping.co.nz/article6.htm that gives a few
more details.

Bon appetit!
