Description: Honeycomb is extracted directly from the hive. It is composed of edible wax cells filled with honey. Its color varies depending on the flowers the bees visit and the time of year it is harvested. It is enjoyed as is, without any further preparation or processing. A pure delight. The bees build the cells with a wax they produce, fill them with honey, and then seal them with wax. Comb honey, also called "honey cake," is a piece of this honey as it is stored in the hive. Its color varies depending on the flowers the bees visit and the time of year it is harvested. The comb is bitten into and enjoyed. Beeswax is edible.
