Now I know why almost no one sells it this way. I'm not really someone to dislike things. And this isn't like a "taste" I didn't care for. This is different. Someone having a dislike for goat cheese for example is a subjective preference.
Turns out there is no real selling point to honey comb other than maybe an imagination that it would be a more raw and natural experience. It's just wax. It has no flavor. It's a very boring if not annoying addition to honey.
There are a lot of ways you could make honey more interesting. You can add to it clove, or garlic, or butter, or milk, or almost anything and it would be subjectively good to someone.
But no one has ever eaten honey and said, you know what would add extra dimension to this? If I ate a candle too, at the same time.
Oh wow, what an intriguing experience.
So I looked it up if there are any health benefits to beeswax. Many natural things do or at least some claims. Nothing. Not even the wackos who swear by essential oils have anything to say. Apparently it goes through your system completely undigested.
You instinctively end up spitting most of it out simply because wax sticks to wax. So within a few chews it becomes a ball of wax for which there is really no instinct to swallow it.
0/10 not going to recommend. It's not horrific objectively there isn't anything good about it, and there is some moderate bad.
I like it. It's kind of like honey bubble gum. But I agree having the comb in is not particularly transformative. It's still just honey.
LOL.
I wouldn't recommend eating wood either, but it comes in handy for some things.
Initially I thought you were talking about Honey-Comb cereal, one brand I didn't do a commercial for.
I'm pretty sure that bees wax actually has a higher caloric density than honey, but it's biologically inaccessible.
Many years ago I read that NASA was looking into replacing Jerry fuel with bees wax, which had higher energy density, suggesting it would be mixed with stored liquid oxygen at the point of combustion.
They suggested rocket fuel was more more susceptible to explosions, etc. And bees wax was a potential replacement solution.
Rocket fuel is a refined version of kerosene, and everything is borderline explosive when introduced to flame, and liquid oxygen.
I'm guessing they'd shelve the idea, even if it worked.
Kerosene + paraffin = lamp oil, good for fire breathing and spinning.
