This separates the honey from large particles of wax. We crush these pieces (a potato masher works fine) and pour the results into a standard kitchen strainer over a bowl.

#EATING HONEYCOMB FREE#
Feel free to add some cheese or jam or whatever you like to your honeycomb cracker. Once the honeycomb is spread, you’ll hardly notice the wax as you eat it. Thin slices are easier to spread as they contain less wax.
If you’re eating something not heated (like a cracker), just cut a very thin slice of honeycomb. Putting comb honey on hot food (toast, pancakes, waffles, etc.) softens the wax making it more spreadable and easier to swallow.

You can eat honeycomb as beeswax is 100% edible. Since we’re talking about eating here, we mean that portion of the comb that contains capped honey, also called “comb honey.” “Honeycomb” often refers to the wax structure bees use to store food and raise brood.
