Leave honey on comb for extra texture, flavor

It’s time to think beyond the bear bottle.

And yes, the comb is totally safe to eat. People have been keeping bees – and eating the honeycomb – for several thousand years. But first, some honey 101. No, honey is not bee spit. But bee saliva does play a role.
