Frequently asked questions
Is honeycomb a prebiotic?
Some research suggests raw honey contains oligosaccharides that may support beneficial gut bacteria, but honeycomb is not a proven prebiotic supplement.
Can honeycomb help with indigestion?
There is limited evidence. Some people report comfort from a small amount of honey, but this is not a medical treatment.
Is the beeswax in honeycomb digestible?
Beeswax is largely inert and passes through the digestive tract. It is generally safe to swallow in the small amounts found in a piece of honeycomb.
