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?
