To retain honey's wonderful, luxuriant texture, always store it at room temperature, never in the refrigerator. If your honey becomes cloudy, don't worry. It's just crystallization, a natural process. Place your honey jar in warm water until the crystals disappear.
To liquefy honey I put the container in a bath of warm water
and set the stove element to low. The honey liquefies in approximately an hour. In the winter you insulate the hives very well and ensure that the bees have enough honey to survive the cold. The bees stay in a ball around the queen. The core temperature will be 25c. Over winter the bees will eat a 100 plus pounds of honey in the course of a winter.
