Yes, I have.  Last year, I stored several quart jars of liquid honey and
about a dozen Ross Rounds in the freezer, some for nearly 9 months.
None of it crystallized in the freezer, but after removing it, at
room temperature it crystallized in a couple of weeks.

So the "pro" side is, it works really well.  Crystallization is completely
halted for an indefinite period.

On the "con" side, it can suck up a lot of freezer space if you get
carried away.
