Honeycomb - NZ made and delicious

Eating honeycomb is delicious! In NZ, honeycomb is eaten as one of the purest forms of raw honey.

Does Honeycomb taste good? Compared to processed honey, you will immediately notice the difference in taste, and its delicate, flaky texture.

What is Honeycomb?

Worker honeybees craft the internal structure of their hives by using their legs and mouths to mould the soft beeswax pieces into hexagonal cells. These 'honeycomb' cells are used to store nectar and pollen, which the bees then convert to honey.
