+'''Comb honey''' is honey intended for sale while still in the honey comb, as opposed to [[liquid honey]] which is extracted from the com by various methods.

 Sales of cut comb honey are compatible with keeping bees in [[topbar beehive]]s as the higher price paid for comb honey more than offsets the possible lower liquid honey production of a topbar hive as compared to a [[Langstroth hive]]. This meshes well with the farmer's desire to minimize costs and maximize sale price of their goods.
