Honeycomb is the most raw format of honey that can be harvested from a beehive. My bees have built these wax combs from scratch and filled them with delicious honey from the Ellice Swamp and surrounding farmland, bringing you a unique taste of our Perth East summers and the wide variety of flowers the bees have visited.
Size available is a "cheese board chunkie" that is a 1" x 1" square. All larger sizes are sold out (start at a minimum of 150g (gross weight) and up).
Never had honeycomb before?
Here are some tips & food pairing suggestions:
If you eat it as a small chunk without any other food pairings, you will find that the honey dissolves out and you will be left with the wax to chew on like gum (or spit out if you don't like the texture). The wax is completely safe to swallow and acts like roughage (dietary fibre) in the digestive system.
Honeycomb is wonderful paired with cheese and one of my favourite ways to eat it is with cheese, fruit, nuts and crackers/bread - this can be a small snack plate or a whole cheese/charcuterie board! Other options include spreading a little butter and honeycomb on toast or english muffins. If you cut a croissant in half and put a scant bit of butter and spread a bit of honeycomb on and then broil it for 2-3 minutes, you'll get a gooey warm treat! And finally, a last suggestion from customers in the past: use it in your next homemade granola recipe - the wax helps the granola stick together!
Your fresh honeycomb can be frozen to keep the honey from crystallizing if you need to store it for awhile. If not frozen, it will slowly crystallize over time as honey naturally does. I do not store my honeycomb in the freezer and at may arrive to you in crystallized form. Crystallized honeycomb can result in a very candy-like texture that is uniquely delicious, so don't be afraid if it sits for a few months!
Let customers speak for us
I used these as favours for my wedding, as an orchardist I love the idea behind them. They are just the cutest little candels! 😍
I burned this candle while I was getting ready (read (im)patiently waiting) for labour to begin at the end of my second pregnancy. Its an excellent gift for a pregnant momma 😊 or for those who have blessing ways, these would be perfect.
Jodi has such a creative collection of flavoured honeys, but this one is my favorite! Gorgeous colour and unique flavour.
What a lovely way to enjoy the benefits of these mushrooms. Makes it easy to incorporate natures medicine into everyday life. Excellent product!
The taste is pleasant and mild, not overpoweringly fungal. Thank you to the Turkey Tails for fruiting abundantly, and to the bees for their honey. And thank you to the humans who gathered these two foods and married them together.
I absolutely love the Pinecone candles that Huckleberry Hives make. It gives me such pleasure giving these as a thoughtful and creative gift for Christmas. The fact that they are locally made makes the gift giving even better!
Honey is soooo creamy and goes great with all the dishes and drinks we use honey for. Delivery was fast and came in excellent condition!
These wonderful snowy fir trees are part of my table setting - I've got a group of them in different sizes! Their scent of sweet honey just adds to their beauty!
The smooth pillars from Huckleberry Hives are everything I look for in a quality beeswax candle. They have a well balanced base, a uniform surface, a safe to burn cotton wick, and top quality 100% beeswax that is not been mixed with additives. Huckleberry Hives' smooth pillars have a beautiful yellow beeswax colour and also a heavenly, sweet honey scent!
I am so impressed by the quality of these beeswax candles, and I am enjoying them so much that I placed another order for holidays gifts for friends. The candles arrived carefully wrapped and I appreciate the kind professionalism at Huckleberry Hives!
Smells good, looks good, burns good. What more can I say?
Excellent, long lasting candle. Fantastic customer service.
