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'.

How do you get honey from bees?
Beekeepers collect honey by carefully extracting the honeycombs from the beehives, removing beeswax caps, and then spinning the combs in a centrifuge to separate honey from beeswax. The honey is then filtered and stored for consumption.
How much honey can be stored in one honeycomb?
It matters how many combs are in the honeycomb . Hope i helped .
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.

How do you Separate honey from honey comb?
To separate honey from honeycomb, you can place the honeycomb in a strainer or cheesecloth over a container and let gravity do the work, allowing the honey to drip out naturally. Another method is to crush the honeycomb to release the honey, then strain the mixture to remove any remaining solid pieces.
How do you remove honey from a honey comb?
To remove honey from a honeycomb, you can cut the comb out of the beehive and then place it in a centrifuge, which spins the comb to extract the honey. Another method is to crush the comb and then strain it through a fine mesh to separate the honey from the wax.

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.
Is the honeycomb a compound word?
