Cloudy honey

[DrWizzard]

So my honey became cloudy is it still good for making mead or should it be treated in some way before I use it?

It is probably just crystallized; the raw honey at the Amish store looks like that.

Assuming it is not diluted honey, it should be fine.

Not much grows in thick sugary honey, the sugar sucks all the water out of the bacteria , essentially killing vegetative bacteria.
This is not the case for bacterial spores, since they are like bacterial seeds, not actively growing.

Where did you get the honey? Is it raw honey or store bought honey?
Is it older honey, or stored in a cool place?
Thick honey or runny diluted honey?

As Lampy said above, it’s probably just crystallizing. The yeast will eat it up just fine.
