Quick Summary

Beekeeping involves the care and management of honeybee colonies, primarily for their honey and pollination services. Honey is marketed in several forms, including liquid, comb, and creamed honey. Creamed honey is produced when liquid honey is blended, homogenized, and cooled to encourage fine granulation, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. This process is a way to manage the natural tendency of honey to crystallize over time.12
