Was separating it to use the wax for lotion or chapstick. There's enough to make the chapstick. We'll eat the honey.

Beeswax is perfectly edible as well. I do just eat bites of honeycomb (full of honey). You can buy squares of it for that purpose.

i remember those little wax bottles of colored and flavored sugar water that we would buy as kids (they still make them btw). we would chew on the wax but eventually spit it out.

i thought though that wax would just go through your system and you'd not actually digest it?

beeswax comb is good for chewing on for sure, but after a while no flavor and i'd not swallow it on purpose.

Those bottles were mostly paraffin with a few added things. Same with the wax lips.

Unless you eat a lot of it, beeswax pretty much just passes through. I cut off chunks of comb about 1/2 by 2 inch and that's my serving. That's several bites for me. I usually do swallow when it's rather crumbly.

It's a treat and expensive so I don't indulge too often. Mom likes it, too. We'd get chunks of comb from a relative who had hives when I was a kid.

now you remind me of the phrase "Mind your own beeswax!" which used to be applied but now doesn't seem to apply at all (as in everyone just puts their own beeswax right out there in public...)
