Freezing comb is indeed a good way to keep it for longer periods.  Not
recommended for short term storage.

Honey whether in comb or not granulates fastest at 14 degrees C.  (57 degree
F) yet very slowly at temperatures much above or below that point.  Thus, for
storage, the trick is to take the comb honey through that granulating point as
fast as possible.  For freezing that means a freezer as cold as possible and
not too many comb in at a time.  (Keep air space around the new comb and or
place them directly on well frozen stuff in the freezer)

Returning the comb to room temperature can often ruin it.  It is just as
important to warm fast as it is to cool fast.  But a high temperature can melt the
wax.  I use a food dehydrator set at 130 to 140 deg. F.  Once running for a
while it blows air at about 130 deg. F which does a nice job of warming the
comb honey up fast.  The comb is in individual plastic boxes ready for market.

I have been storing comb honey this way for a couple of decades.  Most years
I freeze several dozen boxes of individual comb chunks with good success.

But Canola honey is a challenge.  It likes to end up awfully thick - like
"Molasses in January" which most customers do not like.  Buckwheat honey thick
like that really has people guessing!!

Remember take the honey through the crystallisation point just as fast as
possible!
Good Luck
