That depends critically on the humidity of the air; I am 95% sure it

Honey regularly ferments if it is left open to the air.

From what I recall of my bee keeping days and I'm sure *someone* will
correct me, crystallising or not is a temperature 'thang'. That's how e.g.
Gales provide solid or runny hunny.
