On holiday in Germany this summer, I saw a market stall selling hive products including jars labelled 'KAUWACHS' (Chewing wax). It appeared to be nothing more than minced up pieces of comb, presumably from frames which had been extracted. It was priced at 7 Marks, which was a lot more than a jar of honey. I've never seen it anywhere else. Is it a German speciality, or is someone being enterprising and trying to create a demand for a new product? Richard Bunce. ([log in to unmask])
