But you don't have to, and you could get a very full freezer if  you  do
;-)  Do  seal  liquid  honey away from the air though, or it will absorb
water and start to ferment.  Granulated comb honey can be  a  bit  of  a
nuisance,  although  I  have  seen  it  deliberately  left to granulate,
whereupon  it's  been  cut  and  packaged  and  then  melted  again   by
*carefully*  applied heat.  The comb doesn't collapse if the wax doesn't
actually melt and it's shape is supported in the cut-comb box.
