Honey gets thick due to its high sugar content, which causes it to naturally crystallize over time. Factors such as temperature, moisture levels, and the type of flowers the bees collected nectar from can also affect the crystallization process. Heating honey can temporarily thin it out, but it will likely thicken again as it cools.
