My wife adds honey and soy milk to her tea. When I get the sniffles I
drink the teas that only taste good when you get sick. I asked the
guys about the extraction equipment I would have to buy. They said
they wrap the boxed hives in a large bag, take it to someone who does
it for a nominal charge plus part of the honey. Now I see why there
isnt more comb in honey. The centrifuge sucks the honey out of the
cells leaving the comb intact so next year the bees dont have to start
over. I want the honey with the debris since I'm use to drinking puer
and finding whatever.

PS Honey drips. No way around it. Even a honey bear looks like
Vesuvius after a while.
