Those pictures were very educational to me. It took me a couple pics to figure out that you have to scrape the wax off first! Do you ever put a piece of honeycomb in your jars? I remember as a kid, we always liked to suck and chew on those.

My Daddy would get honeycomb honey when I was a kid. We'd eat it and chew the comb, he was a big kid. We enjoyed sugar cane, and he would buy a coconut, poke the "eye" drain the milk, which he and I drank and then beat it with a hammer. We dug out chunks of coconut and ate them. Thanks for reminding me Mary!

Carol photo cutting off wax looks like thin sheet. I once bought Bee's wax candle making kit. Very easy sheet of wax, place wick along bottom of wax, then just roll up wax like joint.

Alex, Carol might not know how to roll a joint.

Wow I did not even realize I wrote that. Was before morning coffee.

Just the caps of the comb are cut off so the honey can be spun out.
The comb in the frame is given back to the bees so they can refill it.

EXACTLY, but assume much like rolling a cigarette (Which I have never done either.)
