As far as I've heard and read, there never was a problem eating
honey combs, if you do that in a reasonable way.
 
The famous German medieval medical doctor Paracelsus said in former
times: "the dosis of a substance makes it to be a poison". That is true
till now.
 
I think you hardly will eat such a great amount of bee-wax, that it will
become dangerous.
 
Bee-wax is used in medical drugs for example or in food production. It
passes through the human body without causing any harm.
 
Happy new year also to you and your family
Yours sincerely
