Bees have taken the juice between crystals.

When you give the comb back to give, spray water onto crystals and let the water sitten sugar.

are you in an oil seed **** area?,
just looks like crystallized honey comb
 
Thank you for your replies. It's a relief to hear that it's not a disease. That honey had been collected after June, so it is not **** seed.
 
Ivy. It will have a very distinctive smell/taste

If you have shooting nearby, it could be mustard. Tastes of vegetable oil.

Almost definitely ivy. The bees will clear it out when they are ready.
 
i find that honey from osr or beans left in the comb can seed the crystallization of the next honey stored, osr is very difficult to extract completely
