How do honey bees make honey combs?
Honey bees create honeycombs by secreting beeswax from glands on their abdomen. They then mold the beeswax into the hexagonal cells of the comb using their mouths and legs. The comb serves as a storage unit for honey, pollen, and eggs within the hive.
How do bees deposit honey into the comb?
Bees deposit honey into the comb by using their proboscis to transfer the nectar they’ve collected from flowers. Once inside the hive, they regurgitate the nectar into the hexagonal wax cells of the comb. The bees then fan their wings to evaporate excess water from the nectar, thickening it into honey, which is sealed with a wax cap for storage and preservation. This process is crucial for providing food for the colony, especially during the winter months.
What is a comb frame in beekeeping?
A comb frame is a movable wooden frame inside a hive with a sheet of wax foundation attached inside the frame to encourage the bees to build comb where the beekeeper wants them to build it and not elsewhere.
How do you remove the honey from the honeycomb?
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'.
Does honey comb contain honey?
yep the honey comb is made out of wax the honey is in the honey comb
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.

What is the main purpose of a honey comb?
The honey bee makes comb out of wax which will allow the queen to lay eggs in the comb cells. Some cells are used to store honey and others to store pollen.
What is a spinner of honey?
It is called an extractor. It spins and the honey is extracted from the honey comb.
Will the use of oxytetracycline while the bees are drawing out comb for use in honey collection in 2010 contaminate the comb for human consumption?
No. only if there is honey in that comb. the wax its self will not make any difference. the honey is what becomes bad for humans.
How many calories are in an ounce of comb honey?
There are approximately 93 calories in one ounce of all natural comb honey. Honey is definitely not a calorie dense food.
Which part of the hexagonal honey comb does the bee deposit the honey?
The honeybee does not deposit honey. The bee deposits nectar collected from flowers, (regurgatated as liquid spit) into the comb. It sits on the bottom of the comb and the bees flutter their wings to evaporate the water out until it is the consistency of honey as we know it.
Do honey bees swim in honey?
No, they store it in a comb to eat later.
How do they take honey out of a beehive?
If the bees are kept in a hive, they build their comb onto frames and fill the comb with honey. An extractor is used to get the honey out of the comb. An extractor spins the frames and forces the honey out of the comb and against the walls of the extractor. It can then be filtered and eaten. They also use harmless smoke on the bees so they stay out of the way and don't sting the beekeepers.
