Highgate Cut comb

Today was the first time that we made cut comb from our hives.

First I cut the comb out of the wooden frame.

Then I used a special cutter to slice up the comb.

And carefully, into the box…

… it goes. Some people drain their comb before boxing it up, but we decided that extra honey was the way to go.

Just look at that golden deliciousness! This is a messy, sticky process – the best bit is mopping up with fresh bread at the end.
