We buy honey from a local beekeeper, sometimes the honey is the classic, runny honey and other times it’s hard, white and somewhat grainy (looks similiar to fat). What’s the difference?

What you are seeing is likely crystalization. Honey is a form of highly concentrated syrup, a mixture of water and sugar. Sugar in high concentrations can start to form crystals. And when crystals stars to form they grow and become quite big. This is the form which you normally buy sugar in.
