Honey comb is a section of hexagonal shaped (six sided) cells built by honey bees for three main purposes. The queen bee lays an egg in every cell that has been specially prepared for that purpose by the worker bees. Some cells are used for storing honey and others are used for storing pollen.

How do you separate honey from the comb?

There are various ways of getting the honey from the comb. In olden times the combs used to be broken up and the honey strained off. Today, a beekeeper wants to preserve the combs as far as possible, so the wax cappings over the honeycomb cells are removed, and the combs, in their wooden frames, are put into an extractor. This spins the frames, rather like an upright spin drier, and the honey is thrown out on to the inside wall of the extractor drum. It then drains to the bottom where it is removed through a tap.
