Crystallization Experiment Followup

In trying to get the prettiest honey for the San Mateo County Fair this weekend, I conducted a crystallization experiment with some of my May harvest honey.

The categories were:

1. New Comb: the category that I qualified as "New Comb" was comb with bright white cappings. I believe that the bees capped this honey less than a month before harvesting.
2. Old Comb: the category that I qualified as "Old Comb" was comb with darker cappings or darker honey. There is nothing wrong with this honey, in fact, I prefer the taste of this honey, but due to the types of pollen in this honey, it tends to granulate more quickly.

Within each category, I had 3 sub-categories:

1. Normal: the "Normal" honey, I just extracted and put in the jar. That's it. This is exactly how I sell it when it is bottled.
2. Microwaved: the "Microwaved" honey, I microwaved for 30 seconds at a time until it just started to bubble at the top (approximately 180 degrees Fahrenheit). I never heat the honey I sell, but my Mum claims that microwaving my honey keeps it nice and clear. Heating it also eliminates natural enzymes and counts as "altering" the honey, which is why I never heat the honey I sold. I figure if you'd like to heat it, you can microwave it just like I did here :)
3. Frozen: the "Frozen" honey is honey that I bottled as normal, then popped in my freezer. I've heard that this reduces the likelihood that the honey will crystallize. I think this also counts as "altering" the honey, so I don't freeze my sold honey either. Again, I'm just kind of curious which of these methods might actually work.

Now, it is one month later, and here are the results:

There was no notable difference between the Old Comb and New Comb honey. However, the sub-categories did seem to make a difference.

The Normal honey has a bit of crystallization at the bottom. You can see the white flecks near the very bottom of the container, but most of the rest of the honey looked exactly as it did one month ago:

The Microwaved honey looked the best, all of it looked exactly as it did one month ago:

The Frozen honey, in my opinion, looks the worst right now. Perhaps the cloudiness is due to the bubbles not settling out of the honey, perhaps it is crystallization. This honey has been out of the freezer overnight:

The Normal and Microwaved honey have been sitting in my living room. During some of the high points over the last month, the living room has reached just over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps that mild heat helped the bubbles settle out of the honey.

Though the Microwaved honey is the clear winner, I will submit the Normal honey to the San Mateo County Fair because the Normal honey is the honey that I sell.
