A very good book I would recommend for learning about comb honey is
Killion's _Honey_in_the_Comb_, available from Dadant.  It covers
techniques for producing comb honey and for producing your own queens
specially suited for producing comb honey.  Comb honey production
requires a prodigious hive and a prolific queen.  There are other traits
that make a colony superior for comb production, such as the LACK of a
tendency to build burr and brace comb.  Also, the Ross Round sections
are preferred by the bees to the square sections, as the round sections
have no corners to fill.  Bees are hesitant to work in the corners.
You may want to drop W. Allen Dick a line.
