Are we talking pieces of comb with honey that you cut off?  If so, I just set it out and let the bees rob the honey from it.  This time of year they're not much into robbing though.  If they don't rob it, put it in the freezer for later in the season.

Wash out the remaining nectar with a hose, let it dry and start saving the wax for when you have enough to melt it down.
