Yes.
Sell it quickly.
Actually, if you want to use this property to your advantage, you might try the
approach used by early 1900s beekeepers in the Phoenix/Buckeye area of
Arizona. They sold honey in waxed paper blocks, advertising that this proved
the purity of their product, since adulterated honey would not crystallize. Of
course, at that time, all homemakers knew how to deal with solid honey.
