PLAN BEE - comb honey Comb honey is the only sweet in the world that is neither made nor processed by man. The bees build their delicate and ingenious comb and fill it with honey. Honey that has been extracted from the comb and strained is not the same and loses some of the delicate taste and aroma of the flowers, as it is heated to retard granulation and then filtered. Put comb honey on anything that you wish to sweeten, or eat it as is. The wax won't hurt you; although it has little nutritional value it is a guarantee that the honey it contains is one hundred percent natural and organic. www.planbeehoney.net /combhoney.html   (173 words)

When cutting the piece(s) of comb the same criteria should be observed as for the cut comb classes; it should be cut with a sharp knife, using a suitable template, and well drained before placing in the prepared chosen container, it should reach from the base of the jar almost to the top. www.honeyshow.co.uk /combhoneyforshow.shtml   (1439 words)
