Easy way to dispense honey?

[Pax]

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?

My problem exactly. I think the bees just laugh at me.

Yup, eat it all. It's especially good on hot things, like toast, then the wax melts... mmmm!

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.

We don't eat the wax - it gets saved for other more beneficial uses! But, yes, you can totally eat it if you want.

And I second the squeeze bottle. We bought a couple of honey bears to give our honey as gifts last year and kept one for ourselves. That's the honey we use. The rest of it is stored in glass jars and the honey bear just gets filled as necessary.

We tried going with the wooden honey server thingy and it really made a mess. I figure it was our lack of skills, but quickly learned that you don't need skills to fill a honey bear and squeeze it!
