 The honey for our personal use is packed in 2L plastic ice cream tubs then placed in 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.  .....  Why this works for me and my customer(Roy has long since passed away) but no-one else is a mystery for me.

I had been taught to "seed" the liquid honey with crystals the size in which I wanted the creamed honey to set up.  Hypothesis:  The honey you are placing in the freezer is using the pollen grains in the honey as a guide for the size which the honey crystals take.
