Before 1850, the only way to retrieve the honey was to drive the bees away, often by using lots of smoke but this usually killed the bees. Once the bees were gone you could do anything you wanted to do with the honey comb.

How is honey obtained from bees?
After the bees have made the honey, they store it in honeycombs; small cells sealed with wax. If these honeycombs are made a certain way, they can be remover and replaced easily. A beekeeper takes out the honeycomb, cuts the wax off, and lets the honey flow out into a collection container (then replaces the used honeycomb). The honey is then taken away and processed into what we see in the jars at the supermarket.

Why does honey cost less than the honeycomb from which it's made?
Honey is not made from honeycomb, it is extracted from honeycomb. Each cell of the comb contains honey and it is extracted by spinning it out using centrifugal force. Afterwards, the empty comb can be re-used in the hive and filled up again by the bees. Honeycomb is more expensive because it is cut from the honeycomb frame and so cannot be re-used.
