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.
