I'll give some short answers and let others elaborate, if they wish.

Heat the honey to 90-100 degrees F.  It will not destroy the crystals you
like so much and will then fill containers without air.

Best containers IMHO are glass.  6-sided or anything with a wide
mouth...wide enough to get a tablespoon into.  At least 70MM.  THAT SAID,
every defect in bottling, storage, or color will then show.  By putting the
honey into glass you are saying 'i'm proud of this stuff, and the reasons
show'!  On the other hand, most creamed (spun, etc.) honey is put into
opaque containers (such as cottage cheese) just so the buyer can't see all
those defects!

We only pack in to glass or clear plastic.

Hope this helps.
