Eating honeycomb is delicious! In NZ, honeycomb is eaten as one of the purest forms of raw honey.

What is Honeycomb?

Worker honeybees craft the internal structure of their hives by using their legs and mouths to mould the soft beeswax pieces into hexagonal cells. These ‘honeycomb’ cells are used to store nectar and pollen, which the bees then convert to honey.
