#5601. Really Real Ready Sweet Honey?
Question
Can I use real real honey from a real bees honeycomb in my backyard on Rosh Hashana?
Answer
Yes, honey may be used directly from a honeycomb. Since this honey would still be unfiltered, any noted particles should and will be removed
(see question regarding unfiltered honey above). Extracting honey from a honeycomb involves the issur of mifarek (prohibition of extraction), therefore one should crush the honeycomb before Yom Tov or Shabbat (Mishnah Berurah, 321:48).
