Dr. Shane Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Does anyone eat honey comb any more? Or, chew it, I guess. It sure is expensive enough. I can only find it in the ethnic food section at our local market. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity

Neil D Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 When I check out my bees, I get to eat honeycomb quite often....Besides the sweet flavor of honey, I also get the distinct flavors of the flowers that the bees have been collecting nectars... It is said that cooking the honey, or warming it up past the 120[?] degrees will destroy the suble flavors of the honey and it just super sweet. That is why, when melting honey from it's granulized state, that the honey is rewarmed rather low to avoid losing those volital flavors.

Moderators Denise Posted February 7, 2008 Moderators Posted February 7, 2008 Use to when I was a kid. My best friend in younger years raised bees, and she use to always give me some to bring home. I had a sweet tooth, and loved honey! But, there use to be some white things in the cone, (I found out they were eggs)and it kinda got me disliking eating honey from the cone, l o l I have a few times ate some more in my adult years, but without the eggs that is! Shane, do you know of any bee farms in your area? Because that's where you can buy large amount of honey cheaper, and of course, some will sell honey in the comb at a much cheaper price. I know I use to go to bee farms and buy 5 gallons of honey at a time. You may want to search for bee farms online, or maybe someone may know of a bee farm in your area, or close to your area. I know I had to travel some to get it, but it was worth the trip. Hope you can find it cheaper! Quote Be Kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another...

Dottie Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 My dad had bees, so we got to eat the honeycomb and the caps which had been cut off to get the honey out. I don't ever remember having eggs in the combs, though!! Honey is probably more expensive now, because there has been a problem with the bees. I think it is a mite which is destroying colonies. Quote

That and the regular bee diseases [fowlbrood, etc] and the new one called Sudden Colony Collapse and poor beekeeping beekeepers....but who's keeping track of this stuff....

fccool Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well, I actually have one quite often... but I live in Iowa which is relatively rural and I can get hold of something like this not problem. Good stuff! Quote
