Honey cappings (Zabrus), 100 g
Before extracting honey, beekeepers remove the cappings with a special beekeeping knife, roller or uncapping fork and leave them on a grid so the honey can drain off, or give them back to the bees to remove the remaining honey. The resulting dry cappings are melted down in wax melters for wax, or sold as a special product. Honey cappings produce the highest-quality wax.
Sweet and honey-like in taste; when chewed, the mass breaks up into small lumps. As a rule, the wax in cappings differs in composition from comb wax.
In addition to wax, honey cappings contain several other components that make them very beneficial for people. These include propolis — a natural antibiotic, pollen — a vitamin complex, honey, and lysozyme — an enzyme that helps protect against bacteria and viruses. The concentration of lysozyme in cappings is 100 times higher than in honey.
