How to keep the rest
To maintain the quality of your wildflower honey, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. If honey crystallizes over time, which is a natural process, it can be gently warmed in a water bath to return it to a liquid state.
