Comb honey is honey intended for sale while still in the honey comb. As opposed to liquid honey, comb honey usually sells at a price 5-8 times higher.
Comb honey can be sold as cut comb (blocks of honey comb cut out of a larger comb) whole comb or rounds - small frames designed to be removable for sale with an intact miniature comb attached.
Sales of cut comb honey are compatible with keeping bees in Topbar beehives 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.
