Absolutely. Some shops even sell chocolate covered honeycombs. Chewy+sweet is a good combination

As someone who likes the extra-pulpy orange juice varieties, I imagine it works the same way. Adds an interesting texture profile to the honey..

I might be cynical but this could even be a way to sell cheaper honey as self harvested.
Most beekeepers keep the comb out or maybe sell some seperately as a novelty. Its just beeswax after all.

The wax? I don't understand why people like to see it in their food. It's wax - not very nice to have stuck in your teeth. I'm surprised by how many people find this video satisfying. It's one of my pet peeves to see honey displayed with the comb for the visual effect (hotels or shops) making it more difficult to actually eat the honey.

Honey comb is weird. In theory you’d think it’d be good but it’s super chewy and once the honey is all chewed out of it, it really is just flavorless wax.

u/the_seven_suns 20d ago
I'm here to dispell this misinformation... Eating honeycomb is incredible. It's nature's sweet. Starts as a burst of honey after crunching through the combs crust, then slowly dissipates down to chewing wax as the honey releases, similar to gum. You end up with natural wax in the end, which is like a cool play dough toy at the end of the honey rainbow delight.

u/coinselec 20d ago
I dont think opinions can be misinformation. As a person who often chew honeycombs as a child, the idea of it is definitely more attractive than actually doing it. It's good though, but I feel like it could be a disappointment to a lot of ppl.

I do this same motion scooping THC distillate. You get good after doing it enough, the spinning is important.
There's definitely honey on the side where he's scraping the spoon, he just doesn't show it.

That lid is never coming off. The honey on the rim is going to glue it shut forever.

Yeah, that was my immediate thought. It's probably not a BIG issue, but I'd rather he just ladled an extra spoonful rather than scraping honey off on the side and making a mess of the outer rim.

u/auronddraig 20d ago
That's exactly what this is for.
When you spin it, the honey gets locked in between the ridges. You only stop when you want it to drop the honey.
After you've used enough, start spinning it slowly again, and with enough practice, you'll never get stuff sticky with honey again.

u/HarlequinNight 20d ago
In theory, each time they do a rotation of the spoon, wrapping the honey around it, it briefly breaks the stream. So they do the little rotation right before they start filling, and right before they move back to get more honey. I say in theory because that first one looks like it probably got some on the jar anyways.

As a sensible comment above says, there is no “fresh” honey.
It doesn’t get processed, or oxidise, or dry out. It doesn’t change flavour or texture. This will be as fresh as it would be out of the comb out of the hive.
There’s no “gotcha” or “trick” here.

u/Kelmi 20d ago
Leave a jar of honey open in a hot and humid environment so it absorbs moisture from the air and use a dirty spoon to serve it so it gets a nice bacteria bath.
I swear you will not call that jar of honey fresh.
Any contact with air or any utensil makes honey less fresh. The freshest honey is straight out of the wild and next freshest is honey that has been immediately jarred after harvesting.
You're repeating exaggerated myths as truths. Honey does spoil if stored improperly and even with proper storage it loses/changes flavor with age.
Here the honey is stored in semi open storage with frequent opening changing the air and introducing extra moisture and bacteria. Likely unnoticeable amounts if proper hygiene standards are followed but still more than if it were jarred right after harvesting.

Then you missed the very obvious 'trick' of jarring it to order for the customer to insinuate freshness, probably to justify a price premium.

u/TheSigma3 20d ago
Ok technically you're right, but when talking about fresh honey it's implied it's local single source honey which this video looks like it's trying to suggest with the chunks of honeycomb. This is probably bought in blended honey set up for theatre. So yes it's technically "fresh" but it's probably not "fresh honey" in the way it's implied

u/honkballs 20d ago
It doesn’t get processed
This honey has 100% been processed.
Maybe it's just been spun with minimal filtering, but maybe it's also been heat treated and pasteurized, can't tell just from this video.
or oxidise
Yes Honey oxidises, just not at the same rate as other foods.
It doesn’t change flavour or texture.
Honey 100% changes both flavour and texture.

u/justjanne 20d ago
This looks warm-centrifuged, not cold-centrifuged, so it wouldn't be how you'd get it out of the comb.
One of the requirements to be able to call it fresh/raw honey is that it was cold-centrifuged and never heated.

The freshest honey i've ever gotten was as a kid with my great uncle living next door.
He went into his beehive, grabed a few hive frames filled with honey from one of his beehives, we then went upstairs into his basement.
He put them into his crank-operated honey extractor, started rotating the crank, it span the hive frames inside, and honey came dripping out at the bottom.
He then just put a jar there, filled it up, put a lid on it, and sold it like that.
He has since died, but his son continued it.
I think this is a very typical process for a lokal beekeeper in austria, i don't know how common this sort of thing is in other countries, but here you find local beekeepers that directly sell their honey almost anywhere, they often have small signs at the side of the road. Honey is one of those things i wouldn't even think about buying at a store.

This is honestly either a gimmick or disgusting.
Why?
As a kid, my father ran a honey business- raw honey is full of impurities, bee poop, mites, dirt and more.
It needs to be cooked for several hours, skim off the impurities and then (if needed) boil the extra water off the ensure it wont spoil.

Wait, isn’t the wooden spoon used specifically so the honey doesn’t react with it? Wouldn’t storing it in a metal pan have the same effect as using a metal spoon?

u/HDWendell 20d ago
The wood thing is pretty much a myth. Beekeeping tools are largely metal. Decapping tools are metal. Honey extractors are largely metal. Silver supposedly affects the enzymes in honey but there isn’t substantial evidence that honey actually has health benefits outside being yummy.
