what might be the best way to go about straining crystallized honey from the comb. i dont want to heat it to much, id rather keep it raw. but im not sure how to separate the crushed wax from the honey crystals. any ideas?
-
Gosh, I think if I had crystallized honey in the comb, I'd save it and feed it back to the bees - freeze it for now and when your bees need food, put the comb in the hive for them to eat.
Linda T - just one opinion

or just cut it in squares and eat it in the comb. PB & honey is great. between two pieces of toast....

i might feed some back to the bees this winter, but its not so good to eat in the comb. its alot of old brood comb from a barn cut out. thanks for the suggestions though.

oh... if it's crystalised I don't htink you have much option for separation aside from heating, and I wouldn't be keen to do that particularly.
If it's crystalised AND in brood comb.. that's bee feed, not people feed. :)
