I feel a little obsessive asking this, but I was wondering if there's any harm in re-bottling honey a week after initially bottling it?  The reason I want to do this is because after I bottled some of mine in narrow mouthed plastic squeeze bottles, the reality struck me that this honey will likely crystallize in a few weeks or months and it's going to be a pain in the butt to try to use the honey in those bottles, so I'd like to re-bottle those into wide mouthed jars, like the rest.  Also, what's the optimal conditions to store honey?  Cool dark place, like most other foods?

Other than being a lot of work, there isn't much harm in rebottling.

Optimal conditions are actually going to be dark and 80-90 degrees. 

Cool and dark will insure the quickest crystallization possible.

it's a pain in the butt to dig it out of jars too, but that's the way i like mine.   :-D

it warms quickly in those plastic bottles if you put them in a pan of warm water. no harm in re-bottling.
