Lois wonders about granulation time...

Lois, some honey will granulate so fast that it is hard to get out of the hive in liquid form.  Examples are canola and aster.  Other honey will stay liquid for very long periods without granulation.  An example is honey from Black Locust.   

Where Mats is, in Sweden, there is a great deal of canola grown so it would not be unusual to have honey granulate very quickly (although I am certain there are Swedish areas where the bees would not harvest nectar from canola).

It all depends on the honey source...
