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!
