This is interesting.  Although I have not tried it myself, I know beekeepers
who store comb honey in the freezer to keep it liquid - and it works, even
for rape honey.  I wonder if there is a difference here between comb and
extracted honey - presumably the extracted is likely to have more prime
nuclei, in the form of pollen grains, and therefore be more likely to
granulate.
