marty: the crystallization rate depends on a lot of factors like # of seed crystals, temperature, and moisture, but probably the most important is the floral source. Some honeys take a couple of years to crystallize, others take a couple of weeks.

Can you explain the photos more ?

In no.1 is the black thing the thermostat sensor ? It could be too near your heat source.
In no.1 is the top of the cabinet to the right or towards the camera ?
Is the crystallized honey in tubs, jars or comb ?

To help heat circulation I use a low setting hairdryer as my heat source. Besides a thermostat, I have a max/min thermometer in a remote corner of the cabinet as a checking device.
