Beekeepers may remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey. Honey bees consume about 8.4 lb (3.8 kg) of honey to secrete 1 lb (454 g) of wax,[1] so it makes economic sense to return the wax to the hive after harvesting the honey. The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal machine—the honey extractor. If the honeycomb is too worn out, the wax can be reused in a number of ways, including making sheets of comb foundation with hexagonal pattern. Such foundation sheets allow the bees to build the comb with less effort, and the hexagonal pattern of worker-sized cell bases discourages the bees from building the larger drone cells.Artificial honeycomb foundation plate in which bees have already completed some cells

Fresh, new comb is sometimes sold and used intact as comb honey, especially if the honey is being spread on bread rather than used in cooking or as a sweetener.
Robust, and full of flavor, this honey is indigenous to the Rocky Mountain West and is excellent for making Mead. It is raw and unfiltered and produced at Clark’s honey farm in Fort Lupton, CO.
This Fire Honey is a great combination of Clark’s Colorado Honey and our Fire Salt. Creating a mouth watering, life changing experience. It goes well on everything!!
A raw Spanish honey cultivated from wild lavender. The producers’ coop members cultivate the bees and honey, which is light, floral, perfect with cheese.
Paola Calciolari makes her exceptional mostardas by sourcing locally harvested fruit, slicing and candying them in their juices, and then adding drops of a very concentrated, spicy mustard oil; it is a highly labor intensive process. Unlike many whole mustard fruits on the market, these are extraordinarily fresh, flavorful and chunky.
The additional earthy flavor of this honey is attributed to the bees feeding predominantly on chestnut flowers.
