YES, raw honey should start to crystallize within 1-6 months of when the honey was placed into jars. This is a natural process from simple sugars in honey starting to stick together. Do not throw the honey away! Crystallized honey is still edible and has the consistency of peanut butter.  Simply place the jar in a hot water bath until crystals are melted. 

This honey is taken directly from the honeycomb and is only lightly filtered to remove large debris like honeycomb pieces. It's not heated to pasteurize, and it's not diluted or infused with other ingredients. Raw honey is cloudy or opaque because it contains pollen, beeswax, and other particles.

Raw honey NEVER spoils. EVER. Simply keep honey sealed on your kitchen table.  Do not refrigerate or microwave to ensure the beneficial enzymes and antibacterial properties are preserved.
