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.

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. :)
