You can also wait until it's about 1/4 crystallized, then blend the every-living hell out of it. It breaks up the large-grain crystals into much smaller, smoother crystals. Once you do that, the rest of the non-crystallized honey will take on a similarly small crystalline structure instead of the large granules.

If you've ever heard of "creamed honey," "spun honey," or "whipped honey," that what it is.

You can also 'seed' some store-bought creamed honey into a jar of fresh, liquid honey and, as the fresh honey crystallizes, it will take the same structure, giving you a larger batch of creamed honey.

It's a lot more usable that the hard stuff. Spreads easy, has a good texture. I like it even better than liquid honey for most things I use it for.

Is cream honey the stuff they sell at state fairs and pike place? Those little glass jars with all the different flavors? More like a spread than a liquid honey.

I have no idea.

Creamed honey is just crystallized honey, but with very very small, very fine granules instead of large ones. That gives it more of a spread-like consistency.

My girl buys the Trader Joe's stuff.
Let me see:

"US Grade A Multi-Floral & Clover Honey

Collected from bees foraging a variety of nectar's & pollen from the Northern United States"

No idea if it's any good or not.
Doesn't have the purity or origin stickers on it like the Costco stuff.

She likes it, and is the only one in the house that uses it.

I grew up without knowing what real honey tastes like. I don't think I have seen real honey in my 6 years here in the US either. I don't trust any commercial container saying its real honey.

Yup, at least all the ones they use for commercial purposes are

Knew a guy over near Walla Walla that had a massive business renting bees to pollinate crops all down the west coast

Yup, non-native invasive species that preferentially pollinate other non-native plants.

Local mason bees and wasps are native and far more efficient pollinators of native plants.

Sure, European honeybees pollinate food crops but the majority of colony problems are generally due to rough handling by the commercial bee herders.

I know plenty of people that maintain and manage their colonies and don't have problems keeping a health population of bees going.

Color me sceptical of the colony collapse disorder hysteria.

Y'all are talking about murder hornets.
The ones you are talking about are NOT murder hornets.

THIS is a murder hornet...

I thought this was a Murder Hornet...?

“ Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service point to general strengths in honey bee colonies: “In 2017, the United States had 2.88 million honey bee colonies, down 12 percent from the record high 3.28 million colonies in 2012, but down less than 1 percent from 2007,” the agency said.”

Covid 19 is getting to be old news so the media had to come up with something new.

I should have bookmarked the WSU link. Can’t seem to find it now.

After the media hype, WSU reported that two dead murder hornets were found last fall in NW WA and a nest in BC. The nest of hornets was immediately murdered. No other hornets/nests have been found since.

Honey bees where the hornets have existed for years have developed a self-defense if attacked by small numbers of hornets. When a hornet finds a bee nest it leaves a pheromone to the entrance to attract more hornets. The bees have developed a sense for the pheromone and immediately group in to large balls of fanning wings/body. They attack any hornets entering in large balls. It’s effective in murdering a limited number of hornets by cooking them. Our honey bees have not developed the sense for the pheromone (yet).

In japan they eat them as a delicacy, fry them up like shrimp.

Good gravy!
Enough to turn a man gay!
I hope that was Photoshopped and there really isn't something like that waddling around in public.
Hope those aren't her tits hanging down past the beltline!
