Comb honey

It has received no processing, filtering, or manipulation, and is in the state that honey bees have produced it.

Comb honey can either be produced in wooden sections, shallow frames or Ross Rounds.

The successful production of comb honey requires that the hive remain crowded without inducing swarming.

Young prolific queens help rapid colony population expansion with less likelihood of swarming.

Caucasian honey bees are often preferred for their tendency to keep a constricted brood nest and for their production of white wax cappings, making more attractive honey combs.
