The inside of a catalytic converter on most vehicles is of a "honey-comb" design. If it was to overheat for any length of time the "honey-comb" can melt down and cause a restriction in the exhaust flow, this condition would be a plugged converter. Whenever you continue to drive your vehicle with the check engine light "flashing" you risk a melt down situation costing you hundreds of dollars for replacement of the converter.

It does melt. If your honey crystalizes in the bottle, you can turn it back to liquid by putting the bottle in hot water.
well, hives are so dense and round and protctive, the heat can't come in as easily. the bees are constantly bringing in necter and pollen making it thicker, therefor, it is harder to melt. sometimes it does melt, but the bees are ready for it. the comb is deep so the honey doesn't come out. they just, keep adding, taking away, and growing honey so it is just right.

Melt the honey in a double boiler. Should be fine after that.
There are various ways. The most usual way is to slice off the wax capping from the cells, place the frames (the comb is in a wooden frame) into a device not too unlike a spin drier and the frames are spun. The honey is thrown out of the cells by centrifugal force on to the sides of the container and drains down to the bottom. This method has the advantage that the comb is unharmed and can be returned to the bees for re-use.If you don't have a honey spinner, you could simply crush the comb to release the honey and sieve it to remove the wax, or you could gently melt the wax from the honey using no more heat than absolutely necessary and they will naturally separate. The disadvantage of these methods for a beekeeper is that the comb is destroyed in the process.Another way is to uncap the cells and suspend the frame, upside down, over a bowl and wait for the honey to drain out. This is a slow process, however. The frame has to be upside down because the bees don't make cells horizontal in the comb as they build it, but slope them upwards from the centre, like a shallow 'V'.
If your building has honey bees; never kill them. They have stored honey and and the honey will melt free of the comb and draw ants wasps and other vermin. Call a bee keep and a carpenter to open the walls and remove all bees, dead bees, and wax comb. The carpenter can restore the wall and block access holes.If you building has yellow jackets, whiteface hornets, carpenter bees, what to use?Use a licensed exterminator.This is no job for the beginner.
If they used chemicals to remove the bees, the honey is going to be contaminated with them and should not be eaten. If they used physical means to remove the bees and hive, then place the comb in a large pan, mash the comb up to insure that all the cells are open and GENTLY heat it up, slowly. The wax will melt. Cool the whole pan down and you should be able to lift out a single block of bee's wax. Strain the honey to remove the rest of the sediment and enjoy.
it takes 2 minutes for it to melt
The honey placed in the hotter liquid would melt and disperse. The honey in the colder liquid would simply sink to the bottom of the container. 45 Fahrenheit is not warm enough to melt the honey.
It takes 7 to 8 minutes to melt a smartie.
