Hi Jim,

I have had some granulated honey several times in my 39 years as a 
beekeeper.

Canola is bad at this trait. White blooming vetch also will do this.

I made a warmer and placed it on a stand with a thermostat and I can place 4

shallow supers on the stand and set the temperature at 110 for 5 days and it 
will liquefy .

Slows processing down, but works well if you cool down to 95 degrees F 
before extracting.

Otherwise the comb will destruct.

I do not know what your honey was made from, so I can not guess.

After liquefying, maybe the taste will let you know where it came from.
