Hi Waldemar and all

Most of my honey, except early sales of my Summer honey, is  
crystallized in the jars.  I do not heat or filter my honey but leave  
it rest in the tank for a week before bottling.  The summer honey is  
very smooth while the autumn honey is somewhat more coarse.  Several  
years ago when I decided to stop trying to keep my honey liquid, I  
had  several queries as to why my honey was white.  Now, when I put  
the first honey out for sale, I get asked " do you only have the  
brown stuff, don't you have any of the white stuff like we bought  
last year?"  I'm sure that my system wouldn't work if my bees  
collected canola, as it would go solid in the tank.  All my honey  
usually sells by Canadian Thanksgiving weekend(2nd Monday in October).

  Happy Thanksgiving to our Bee-L hosts
