Crystallized honey

[dto001]

Hi All,
This question has probably been asked before but anyway.
My last 2 crops of honey set in the jars within a week or so. Now my neighbor who lives about 200 m down the road has runny honey in his jars (I know it depends on the flower type etc) I’m just wondering am I jarring it wrong or not filtering it enough? I usually put it through a medium filter.
Cheers

His bees are foraging elsewhere that’s all.
It’s often a good idea to leave your honey in a bucket for a while to see if it sets quickly. If it does you can soft set it
I’ve had honey taken off the same time from different colonies behave differently

Or he might be heating his honey to hell, to keep it runny, when if left to itself it might well set like yours. My spring honey crop is usually rape honey, which sets quickly. My summer honey can be a mix of set/runny. As above, I leave mine in buckets ( with lids) for a few weeks, to determine how I will treat it eventually.

Many people prefer set honey. I have been lucky this year set spring honey and runny summer honey!

He is probably heating his honey.

So you need to make a honey warmer. Research the Stc 1000

They do a plug and play version now called the stc 1000 pro.

Its much better for people who arent electronically minded, like me..

Best thing about set honey - it doesn't leak through the bread or toast into your lap.
