Comb honey - what is it?

Comb honey is a beekeeping product that beekeepers do not extract from bee combs, but sell them in whole frames (in kind). Usually inside honeycombs honey has a liquid consistency, but sometimes there are frames in which it crystallizes. What makes this beekeeping product unique is its composition, because in addition to the fact that honey itself can “boast” of a large number of vitamins, enzymes and trace elements, it also includes pollen, propolis and wax components, and it is they that make the range of its application incredibly wide.

It is worth making a separate emphasis on the fact that, despite the large number of healing properties, it cannot be called very popular among buyers, because the cost of comb honey is usually higher than the usual varieties of this product and its transportation is increased complexity.

Quality honey in combs should have a solid wax seal, so when buying it, you need to pay attention to the fact that all honeycombs are sealed with light yellow wax caps. Today you can find comb honey in jars, which beekeepers sell in this form for the sake of ease of transportation - they simply cut it into long plates and put it in jars, therefore, the naturalness of the product is not discussed.

The benefits of the product
I must say that even if the price of comb honey in 2020 is relatively high, it is worth buying it for every person, because the spectrum of action of this beekeeping product is incredibly wide:

due to the content of propolis in its composition and wax, honey has pronounced anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties, so it is recommended to take it for the treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract, colds and flu;
it can also be recommended for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as well as prevention violations of the heart muscle;
a large amount of vitamins and organic components in the composition of this product makes it useful for cells of the immune system, because they help to increase the functioning of the immune system and increase the resistance of the body's microflora to infections;
honey also helps in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system and thyroid gland, restores strength and endurance of the body, prevents the development of impotence and contributes to the normalization of vision ( due to the high quantitative content of vitamin A).

It is impossible to name the list of the above useful properties and indications for the use of this product, because it can be continued for a long time, while learning about how much comb honey costs in Ukraine, people are very often surprised that a product with such unique properties is not too expensive, so many people can afford to buy it.

Is it possible to eat honeycombs?

It is known that honeycombs consist of wax, which is a chemically inert product and is not digested by the human body. It is usually recommended to take a piece of honeycomb, chew it until it loses its sweetness, and then spit out the wax, because by this moment all the beneficial substances have already managed to get into the blood through the mucous membrane of the mouth. However, scientists in the course of some tests found that it is possible to swallow the remaining wax, while it will act as an adsorbent - absorb toxic substances in the stomach and promote their removal from the body, although it can be consumed in extremely small quantities.

Where to buy?

Today you can buy comb honey in Kyiv by placing an order at the Merry Hornet apiary, where you can find exceptionally high-quality beekeeping products that are distinguished by affordable prices. You can’t buy honey in combs in a pharmacy, because it is sold only in apiaries, but you should buy it only from trusted sellers, about whom there are only positive reviews, because otherwise its quality may be impaired and the benefits of using the product will be less pronounced .
