When our State chapter sold at a local fair, the chunk honey sold out
first at a premium price. The nice thing about it, compared to comb
honey, is you do not have to worry about "neatness" (honey dripping from
the cut edges or irregular size) since they are immersed in honey. Plus,
a little goes a long way, since the "chunks" are smaller than cut-comb
honey. Does take more work, but is a moneymaker. I usually used combs
from frames that needed replacement anyway, so there was no real loss of
combs.
They also are unusual and appreciated gifts, as part of the happy
neighbor program.
