I make flapjack from my honeycomb after I've got nearly all the honey out, using my fruit press.  I've just posted the recipe on my blog: www.chrissladesbeeblog.wordpress.com   .

I'm wondering what happens to the beeswax when it is cooked and eaten. Is it as bad for you as any other animal fat? Does it pass through the gut undigested? Does it have any particular qualities, good or bad? I took this comb from my foundationless top bar hive which lives on a 'permacultural' holding in West Dorset, UK, so it should be as free of artificial chemicals as it is possible to get.
