The waxy structure constructed by honey bees is called honeycomb. It's a structure of hexagonal cells which the bees build to store pollen and honey, and to house their larvae.
yes, the honeycomb found in a bottle of honey is edible. you can eat it with a spoon (though it is a little waxy) or you can put it in tea. i have heard of making a sandwich with it also. i still have yet to find any recipes that use it though. it is chewy, but not in a gum kinda way. some people just chew it til honey is gone and spit out wax, others just eat it anyway. it tastes delicious to me and better than store bought honey. just remember not to give honey to infants, due to spores that their little bodies can't handle
