RE: What to do with honeycomb? Ideas from a beekeeper

in #food8 years ago

oh, the memories of eating the caps straight off the hot knife, but for the guilt of stealing from the bees it would be flawless. i love the bees. i always used the wax for the usual, candles, wax for sewing thread, and waterproofing my boots, all the uses that grandparents put it to. thank you for this.

So glad it could evoke some fond memories for you. My grandfather kept bees too, I don't remember much except he smoked a pipe and used it to calm the bees instead of a conventional smoker.
