Lots of people enjoy eating honeycomb and it’s becoming increasingly popular. Many people become beekeepers because they are honeycomb-enthusiasts.
Honeycomb is a natural product created by worker bees in a colony. Honeybees use beeswax, produced from glands in the worker bees’ abdominal, to create the hexagonal combs. Bees will store honey in these combs. Then the worker bees cover the honey with wax to cap and seal it for storage.
People love eating raw honeycomb because of its unique texture and health benefits. It serves as a natural cough suppressant, particularly for those who are prone to respiratory infections. Honeycomb will hold traces of pollen, royal jelly, and other natural materials that were collected or created by the worker bees. Honeycomb is a direct source of the bees’ environment so if you plan to buy any, pay attention to where the comb is sourced.
Remember that no two packages of honeycombs will taste the same. That’s because the taste depends on the environment and which flowers the bees use to collect nectar.
