Honeycomb
Honeycomb noney is a peculiar pinnacle of joint mastery of bees and beekeeper.
Sealed honey is always absolutely ripe, because bees will never put their quality mark on unripe honey – a wax lid. Honeycomb honey remains liquid for a very long time and does not crystallize.
Good comb honey can be obtained only from a strong (50-70 thousand bees) colony. In honeycomb honey there are substances that are significantly less or not at all in pumped out honey.
This is LYSOCYME. In the bee colony, this enzyme provides antibacterial protection for the entire colony. In the human body, LYSOCYM is an activator of the immune system, providing an increase in local immunity, especially the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx, eyes, genitals, skin.
In honeycomb honey, this enzyme is 8 times more than in ordinary honey. It is no coincidence that comb honey is considered more healing. When pumping out honey, wax caps (ZABRUS) are cut off together with the main amount of lysozyme.
The content of lysozyme in the bead is 20 times higher than in comb honey, and 140 times higher than in ordinary honey.
We should also pay tribute to beeswax, which is not found in ordinary honey at all. And in honeycomb – the base of the wax lids is pure beeswax.
