6. Frequently asked qustions
Finally, these are the questions we are often asked about this product:

Where should it be kept, in the fridge?
Honeycomb honey should not be kept in the fridge unless you have problems with ants. However, it should be kept in a cool place away from strange smells.

You can swallow the wax, but it will be expelled, as it is not digested in the stomach. For this reason, I recommend spitting it out.

Logically yes, it is the way the bees leave it, so it is not subjected to any treatment.

We would probably only find this honey in specialised honey shops such as ours in Las Rozas de Madrid.
