  • The wax is what's leftover after you extract honey. The honey you see here is just what's stuck to the wax after you extract. An extractor is just a centrifuge. It uses physics to sling most of the honey out of the comb, but there's obviously going to be a little bit stuck to the cappings and the insides of the cells. The point of rendering is to get the honey off the wax so the wax is usable. The residual honey is just a byproduct.

  • Yes. The comb in the jar is no different than the comb in the frames; it's just been cut and placed in the jar with the extracted honey. It's all beeswax.

  • ah okay, we really have to heat the honeycomb with honey? but can we still eat the honey after that? Please reply to my question.

    BTW, thanks for this! you really helped us a lot for our research work.

  • is it okay if I extract the honey first before I heat the honeycomb for the wax?

  • is it possible to extract the honey first without having to heat it up with the wax?

  • ok, thanks!!

  • can you use the honeycomb that is sometimes in a jar of honey? (sorry if that was a silly question! haha)

  • that was awsome, thanks for uploading. Alot of lip balm there.
