Thanks Jerry

I have a fact that no beekeeper seems to believe.  I extract my  
honey, pour it into my stainless tank(with or without strainer), let  
it sit for a week or more, then pack it directly from the tank.  The  
honey for our personal use is packed in 2L plastic ice cream tubs  
then placed in the freezer.  Later(months or years) when the supply  
in the kitchen runs out another tub is taken from the freezer.  The  
honey when at room temperature is almost always(except 5-6 times in  
30 years) lovely smooth creamed honey, and stays that way until the  
tub is finished.  I have presented this idea, which I gleaned from a  
customer, to beekeeper groups  usually to arguments  that what I am  
saying is impossible.  Recently at our local association meeting one  
member explained the dyce method in detail so that I could understand  
how wrong I was.  I presented the idea on Bee-L several years ago and  
received several queries but no confirmation.  Why this works for me  
and my customer(Roy has long since passed away) but no-one else is a  
mystery for me.
