Hello! My honey from July/August is on the left. The honey I got yesterday is on the right. I understand that different time of year = different plants therefore different honey, but it looks a bit cloudy to me. I just thought I’d post a photo up here to see what anyone else thinks? It tastes good and I put a bit on my finger and let the bees try a bit (I don’t know why I always do that but I do!) What does everyone think? Are there any other checks or tests I can do?
Hi Rosie. To my mind, cloudy honey means that it wont take long before it starts to crystallize. It’s nothing to worry about.

Mine is like that at different times of year too. I think it is probably pollen in the honey. Some times of year there is more pollen around than others. As @JeffH says, cloudier honey can sometimes crystallize faster, as the pollen acts as a “nucleation agent”, forming little starting points for sugar crystals to grow on. That doesn’t make it bad though. In fact my hubby prefers crystallized honey.

HI Rosie we are in Brisbane also. We get different textures and colours from each frame. Nothing to worry about. Just do an inspection a week or two before you harvest to get the exact status of each frames fullness.
I checked ours today and even though we took honey off 6 weeks ago from 2 frames all bar 1 are 100% capped.
Good Luck.

It looks potentially like the jar rather than the honey to me 
especially since the one on the left looks a little cloudy above the honey line… could it just be steam or finger marks? Otherwise, refer above comments re: honey cloudiness…
