Default OT honey bees in roof

The message
from Sacha contains these words:

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.


No. The type of honey is determined by the flowers the bees plunder.
Some produce clear runny honey, some hoey which gradually sets to a
thick paste, while some, like rape flowers, produce a honey which is
spoon-bendingly solid.

Gales almost certainly blend theirs for consistency of consistency.
