Honeycomb

This is how much of the honey in Asir is sold – as honeycomb. I bought it this way when I lived in Turkey, but some people in our tour group were unfamiliar with it and wanted to know how one gets the honey out and what one does with the wax. You just eat the whole thing, and it’s delicious.

I've never seen honey sold like this here but I'd try it. I like honey.

I'll bet that's tasty! Is that a bee hovering over the plate? V

I think this wild honey is excellent.

Mmmm. Reminds me of my youth and the honey we harvested from our own hives,

Yes, honeycomb is really delicious. Here it is more a specialty item than anything. Interesting to see that is how honey is mostly sold there. V

seems a natural treat, likely ideal if you can handle the sweetness...good to get a closer look here...

This reminds me of my childhood. My parents had a friend who kept bees. I can almost taste it in this image. V

I'd love to see their hives - this would be so much easier than extracting !!! I wonder if they're having the troubles we are having in N.America - mites, etc.
