Pour it out into a bowl.
The wax will cool and float. It seeks the top of the honey.

Once cool, simply break out or take out the layer of wax.

Some have comb in it. It had started to crystallize. We put it in hot

water for a time, and the crystals disappeared. Now, the comb has
melted.

How do we separate the wax from the honey?



I figured there were enough old people here to find someone who knew
this.

The foodie newsgroups on the Internet are not user friendly unless you
are a

Many people eat the whole honey comb for the health benefits.
They pay extra for the honey comb which is normally has the wax separated
for sale as wax.

You are lucky...

Uh, it is impossible to get the crystallized honey out of the jar and the
combs. Any ideas?
