Comb honey is honeycomb spleen that has been matured by bees and sealed with a wax cap, but if you want to understand comb honey in detail, you have to start with how bees make honey. After bees collect nectar and return to the hive, they hand the collected nectar to the indoor bees. The indoor bees repeatedly process the nectar and store it in the comb cells. After the honey is completely matured (roughly about 7 days), the worker bees seal the comb cells with beeswax, and this matured and sealed honey together with the comb spleen is called comb honey.
