Description
Diving into the sweet yet challenging world of honey consumption, this week’s episode of Honey Bee Obscura delves into the nuances of enjoying honey—without the mess. Jim discusses the inevitable sticky spills that occur no matter how careful you are with honey. Whether it’s a drop missing the target or the complexities of enjoying comb honey and dealing with the leftover wax, Jim covers it all. Jim also explores the best ways to store honey, debating glass vs. plastic containers, and addresses safety concerns, especially around reheating honey in plastic. He shares his personal take on granulated honey's texture, preferring it to the smoothness of liquid honey. Historically, honey and comb were enjoyed together, with comb honey still celebrated today as the most "natural" form of honey. Yet, the question remains: how do you manage that bit of wax after enjoying the honey? This episode revisits forgotten social norms around consuming comb honey and offers insights into navigating the challenges of eating honey while highlighting its undeniable worth despite the extra cleanup effort involved ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.
