from the internet Gypsy

"You can eat comb honey just like a chewy candy. Because the honey in the comb is untouched and is deemed to be pure, honey presented in this form comes with a a relatively higher price tag."

Or put it in a dish until the honey runs out....that's me not the internet

I love honey on the comb - just squash it on some granary bread - yum!

The wax the bees use to make the comb is totally edible.
If you don't fancy it, just cut or scrape the caps of the comb and allow the honey to drain out overnight.

I find that if I eat honeycomb, the wax just stays in my mouth after the honey is gone.

when I was on holiday in Turkey at breakfast they had honeycombs suspended above a plate, so that the honey drained on to the plate for people to use as they wanted. I had never seen that before.
