I like Knot's suggestion.
If you want to get all fancy and are in need of yet another kitchen trinket thing, you can always try using this.
I have one of those. The hole is rather small, so they only work if your house is pretty warm (like maybe over 72F) and the honey is flowing well. Ours worked well in the hot summer before we got air conditioning. After that, it was never really warm enough in the house, and it never worked in the winter for us either, cause the temp stayed between 60-68F.
I use two pound squeeze plastic bottles, and I reuse them over and over. I eat 3 heaping tablespoons of honey every day. Plus, I like comb honey too!

Not to derail...but how do you eat comb honey?? They sell it at the local farmers market and I'd like to give it a try.
do you eat the wax, too? I got it once, and while nice, I just never knew what to do with the wax - eat it or spit it out?
Yup, eat it all. It's especially good on hot things, like toast, then the wax melts... mmmm!
"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
But you don't 'have' to eat the wax. I don't, I spit the wax out, but only after chewing all the yummy honey out of it like chewing gum. Somehow it seems even more rare and wonderful when you are chewing it right out of the honeycomb cells where the bees so carefully stored it.
I can see how it'd be cool to let the wax melt on toast, but my toast never seems hot enough.I've heard of people putting the chucks on hot oatmeal or hot mixed grain cereal, too.
