Hogg Halfcomb Kit
If you have at least a few seasons of beekeeping under your belt and are interested in producing a sought-after product without the mess of extraction, comb honey production may be for you.
The Hogg Halfcomb honeycomb kit incorporates 40 cassettes in 10 frame or 32 cassettes in 8 frame into a 4.75" comb honey super. The bottoms of each tray are coated with pure beeswax cappings and are readily accepted by bees. When sections are full they are removed as a unit from the super, separated into individual trays and covers are placed on the combs. Each cassette typically yields a 10-12 ounce sections. Simply add a label and have a product which displays the comb very nicely from all angles and sells for a premium. This kit comes fully assembled and ready to place of your hive.
