What is the special benefit of honey in honeycombs
Honeycomb honey is in its natural, natural "container" consisting of wax and propolis. According to some researchers, the composition of the wax, formed from the secretion of the glands of bees, includes some useful components contained in flower nectar. A huge number of various substances, including trace elements necessary for man, is contained in propolis. For example, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, copper, selenium, fluorine are present there. And this is far from a complete list of trace elements.
In addition, propolis contains flavonoids, aromatic acids and their esters and a number of amino acids (including essential ones).
Also, pollen settles on the walls of the wax cells. And in it, in addition to proteins, fats and carbohydrates, there are also a number of minerals useful to humans. Therefore, honey in honeycombs contains much more biologically active substances than pumped honey. This is its main advantage.
What are the healing properties of honey in honeycombs
From time immemorial, it was known that the use of honeycomb helps very well in the treatment of certain diseases of the respiratory system.

This may seem very strange, since honey itself, and especially plant pollen, are among the most powerful allergens! However, studies show that people who consume honeycomb rarely have hay fever (hay fever).
Modern medicine cannot yet fully explain the cause of this phenomenon.
Chewing honeycombs helps prevent inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity (such as stomatitis). Cell honey enhances a person’s immunity and thus strengthens his health.
