With regard to liquid honey, Mats said "Since making creamed honey is simpler, it
would obviously also be more economical."

Mats, please tell us in more detail about how you make creamed honey.  Honestly, the view here is that creamed honey is harder to make than liquid honey.  The reason is that first one must have liquid honey, so go through all the steps of extracting and at least straining to get rid of bee legs, etc., and then one must make the creamed honey...so making creamed honey is viewed as more difficult than liquid honey.

Most beekeepers in the US would use what is called the Dyce method for making creamed honey.  This is reasonably time consuming, particularly because the honey cannot be sold until 3 weeks or more after being put in final containers.  However, the final product is very fine and smooth, with not any crystals.

Looking forward to your reply.
