This is the exact problem I just discovered in the honey from one hive. You have shown me that I had too much nectar and some pollen. I know now I should have waited. I just got excited. Thank you for this video.
The biggest reason honey crystalizes is the temperature of the storage area. Store honey at 75f and it will not chrystalize for a long time. Store it at 50-60f and it will chrystalize quick.
Wow interesting!! My late neighbor was a bee keeper and he produced such beautiful honey,Norm was old school he never wore a bee suite. I am sure our friends @AcreHomestead could enjoy your video! Josh has just become a beekeeper here in WA State Thank you Ben and Andrea!!!
Also there are many different varieties of honey depending on the plants the nectar is harvested from and some honey more prone to crystallisation than other honey.
I store my honey in an old freezer that doesn’t work. I installed a temp controlled heater and keep it at 80 degrees and never had an issue with crystallization
Wow. Didn’t know that. I don’t harvest my own honey but I do buy it from local farmers. Great information. Thanks for sharing this information with us. God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
It has a lot to do with the temperature..I just set it in the sun on my porch and it turns right back into beautiful honey..love the video it was great. God bless.
Very good information Ben and Andera on the honey! we in North/East Missouri need rain, it keeps bypassing us. Praying that you get your first cut of hay soon.
Technically, none... they are synonyms. But in common usage, at least within beekeeping, "straining" refers to somewhat coarse filtering... enough to filter out wax, bee body parts, and other contaminants. "Filtering" is much more fine... enough to even filter out microscopic pollen particles. Large-scale producers do that to provide absolutely crystal clear honey for "shelf-appeal". Unethical producers do that to hide the origins of their foreign or adulterated honey because if they leave any pollen grains in the honey it can be tested and might reveal that it is cheap honey from China or other places that allow adulteration with rice-sugar or other sugars.
Thank you both for your outstanding sharing your knowledge!! Our friends at #AcreHomestead have just begun the bee journey, I am sure this will be shovel to Josh!

Thank you for this video.
Thank you Andrea. I don’t have any bees, but this was really good information. Blessings from OKC.❤
This was so interesting. Would love to see the whole process of you putting the honey in jars. Have a good week.

Last year my honey crystallized within 2 weeks after harvest, being stored at 70deg.
Harvesting honey is a fascinating process. Stay blessed y'all 😊

You guys both amazing 🌹

Awesome video! I say the same thing that you suggested, getting started keeping bees anyway and learning as you go.

What is the difference between strain and filter the honey??
