r/honey

A friend of mine is keeping bees as a hobby and when he asked me if I wanted some honey I expected him to just get me a jar of honey. Well turns out he likes the taste of honey in combs.
It is certainly delicious, but for the purpose of making a cup of tea I'd love to get the combs/wax out.
Is there any good method to do this?
Because the combs are no longer within their frame, but were cut out I can't use a traditional honeyspinner.

Hey this seems like the place to ask this, I went to the grocery store recently and saw that there was honey with rosemary in it, and honey with other stuff, and I wondered if that helps for something, or why does it had that ?

I have found some really tasty (rich flavor and not just bland sweet) from home goods. But it’s been hit and miss.

It’s not a huge deal, but within the past month or so Nate’s Honey that usually has a no-drip cap no longer does? Just curious if anyone else has noticed this or if anyone knows if it’s a permanent change. I did a google search with only references to 2022 when there was a supply chain issue, so I’m wondering if that’s happening again.

I’m hoping it’s temporary! It’s worth the price for the no-drip cap alone lol

I received 20 pounds of raw honey but it was fully crystallized. I had no pot large enough to use in a double boiler-type decrystallization at sub boiling temps. I tried plugging up the sink and dumping boiling water around the tub but only part of the edge turned liquid-y.

I was going to buy a turkey-frying pot to help but I'd never use it after that. So I parked my car facing the sun and trapped the bucket in the direct sunshine as much as I could for several days. My thermometer said it was over 140F in the sun in the car. After 10 days in the sun in the car it was fully decrystallized!

Just thought someone may have the same trouble and would like the tip?
