Honey-comb beeswax cappings, 6 lbs for chewing, eating, rich in pollen propolis

Description

"What is this 'cappings'?" you may ask:
Bees build honeycomb with beeswax, they then fill the cells of the comb with honey, and once they have reduced the moisture content to around 18% or less, they cover the cells with wax (cappings) in order to prevent atmospheric moisture from diluting the honey. When a beekeeper is extracting honey from the comb, the first thing that is usually done is remove the cappings from the honeycombs to facilitate the extracting process, and these cappings contain a lot of pollen grains, so eating cappings along with honey exposes one's immune system to even more pollen than just honey. These cappings are saturated with honey and full of pollen (beebread), propolis and beeswax. Light and dark cappings are present so you also get the benefit from the health benefits of propolis when chewing these cappings. We ship these cappings in two 3 lb hermetically sealed food bag. You can store in the bag or open the bag and transfer the cappings into you own container.
Bees secrete white wax which they form into honeycomb which is white. They fill with honey and cap it.  If the beekeeper removes it very soon, the cappings will be very white. Some people buy fresh cappings which are very white and tender.  Tasty but of little medicinal value.  The longer the honeycombs stay in the hive, the darker they get until the cappings will be very dark after a few months.  This is because the bees are constantly bringing propolis into the hive to seal the cracks and spread around the hive to destroy bacteria harmful to the bees. In the wild, inside hollow trees, the bees coat the walls inside the hollow tree with the propolis which stops the wood from rotting. The bees bring the propolis into the hive in their pollen baskets on their legs and it is deposited on the white cappings as they travel over the honeycomb.  Therefore the caps become dark from the propolis. This is why we sell so much because the main benefit of the dark cappings is that you get that propolis, pollen and minerals when you chew the dark cappings.
Note about shipping zip code:
We are migratory beekeepers with a honeyhouse and a home in Florida and the same in North Dakota. We are registered beekeepers in both North Dakota and Florida.  We move our bees on tractor & semi-
trailer trucks back and forth between Florida and North Dakota depending on the season. We transfer barrels of Florida honey to North Dakota when we go to our operation in North Dakota so we can continue our Ebay sales the year around. We transfer our clover, buckwheat, canola and other ND honeys we produce in North Dakota to Florida when we are there and then do the shipping from our honeyhouse in West Palm Beach, FL  .
So the shipping zip code reflects where we are in that time period, not where the honey was produced.
Customer ask about expiration date of cappings:
Honey and also these cappings saturated with honey have no expiration date. Honey is the only food that never spoils. One more thing I wanted to tell you. Maybe you thought the cappings were old because the wax is dark. The longer the honeycombs stay in the hive before being uncapped in our extracting room, the darker the cappings become from the propolis that the bees are bringing into the hive to deposit on the walls of the hive to prevent rot from moisture and to kill harmful bacteria. It is important that the cappings have this residue of propolis for health purposes and that is the primary reason we sell so many all over the country. Newly made honeycombs with all white wax would be worthless for their antibacterial properties and other health benefits. I do not know where you would ever find such a healthy food product at so low a price. Thank you.
Sincerely, Tom and Irina Charnock, beekeepers.
