When I used to keep bees, I had a buddy with about a hundred hives that I would go out with sometimes to help out. He worked all day long without gloves and rarely got stung...I got stung all the time even with gloves on. It's about how you move and I never mastered it.

After a while stings don't bother you much though. Except on the face or head, that always sucks.

I've never eaten a comb before; only the honey itself. I'm curious, does it taste different? I imagine it just tastes like crunchy honey.
combs are not crunchy. it is waxy..it's like eating almost tasteless candle mixed with honey. it's a nice experience to try, but it gets stuck in your teeth and overall a bit messy and sticky.


mmm fresh comb honey is amazing. I used to keep bees and this was my favorite treat. The yummy taste and soft chewy texture takes away from the feelings of guilt that you're eating a little fuzzy creatures home.

The comb is pretty tasteless, and its often artificial. It does add a lil something though, I certainly prefer it with the comb, but I guess you have to try it to understand why.


My mum keeps Bees and is letting the Bees build their own comb (mostly because its a little cheaper if your not worried about yield, but also because there is some evidence artificial comb can increase the spread of disease) and I can't fucking wait for the first harvest to see what it tastes like.

They are fascinating creatures and honey must be the oldest treasure.
