“Honeycomb” often refers to the wax structure bees use to store food and raise brood. Since we’re talking about eating here, we mean that portion of the comb that contains capped honey, also called “comb honey.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can eat honeycomb as beeswax is 100% edible. As for how to eat honeycomb: chew it comb to release the honey, then spit out or swallow the wax (thinner pieces are easier to swallow); spread honeycomb on something hot (like toast) to soften the wax; or crush the comb and let the honey drain through a strainer.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Comb honey is the purest form of raw honey<\/strong>. It’s the natural state you’ll find honey in a beehive. Raw honey may contain pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and other materials (like teeny tiny bee parts) that are beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
