I don’t mind the wax. Gives it a little chewiness.

I grew up eating it. You break off a piece and chew it. You can eat the wax, but I would chew the honey flavor out and then spit it out (kind of like gum).

It tastes like wax though. Tried it once and that was plenty!

It’s not processed in any way, shape, or form.
For the beekeeper, it’s easier to remove from hive as opposed to honey.
It’s unusual.

What is the attraction for honeycomb vs. honey in a jar? Is the honey fresher or less processed if from the honeycomb? Does crushing the wax with the honey improve taste or texture?

One more thing - I wouldn’t cook with the whole comb bc the wax.

Beekeeper here who specializes in honeycomb. Yes, you can eat the beeswax. You can eat the whole thing. Or not. It’s up to you. I like to turn it sideways and let it drip or crush it with my spreader and spread on toast.

I like it with cheese.

Eat as is! I love honeycomb.

Eat it with cheese, fruit, bread, toast, in tea…it goes on and on!

While you can eat it as-is, it makes for an excellent spread for warm bread or English muffins. Honeycomb may also be used as a sweetener in homemade desserts — or on top of pancakes, oatmeal, or yogurt. Some people may likewise enjoy a piece of honeycomb atop salad or alongside fruit, charcuterie, or aged cheese

Got a gift of honeycomb and not sure how to use it. Do I drain the honey out? Do we eat the comb? Thanks for suggestions.
