As a new beekeeper, why? Do you just enjoy chewing on it?

[–] Spacebar 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

People like it. They put thin slices of it on toast. They put it on charcuterie boards. Each container sells for $30.

Thank, I had no idea.

Do you just harvest this with a hot knife? And do your frames have no foundation, in order to be able to keep it that pretty when you harvest?"

[–] Spacebar 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, no foundation frames.

As a not beekeeper, but someone who likes honeycomb, it's chewy and sweet and my autistic brain loves that but hate bubblegum.
