Charlie, the whipped/creamed honey is crystalized first but inexpensiveCreamed honey is the result of the granulation of dextrose sugars into many few molecule units under controled conditions. In the joining of the dextrose crystals, a water molecule is released, increasing the water content. Fermentation of honey is the result of sugar tolerant yeasts upon levulose and dextrose producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. The alcohol is broken down into acetic acid and water by bacteria.

uncooked honey will turn to a consistency similar to rock candy in a
short while. I'm sure whipping it would speed up the crystalization and
may be done in a commercial production. We just waited a while and
rushed it by storing it in the refrigerator when we got impatient.
It, like peanut butter will stay on your bread and you don't have to
tear the bread when you spread it. Creamed honey isn't popular in this
part of the world but I have seen it in Canada. With our soft mushy
white bread it would be a boon to spreadability. It won't run down your
arm and require licking it off like liquid honey. Our kids always had
clean arms after eating honey "samiches".
