Part of a project inspired by fairy tales, vanity sets, and magical escapes.
While I was pulling frames from the beehives I felt compelled to stop for a minute and take a few photos. I removed about a hundred frames over the last two weekends. Most will be spun in the extractor to produce liquid honey but some will be cut into squares for comb honey and others will be cut and placed in pint size wide mouth jars and then filled with honey to produce what's called chunk honey. A little something for everyone who loves 100% pure natural honey.

Thomas H. Combs is a native of Perry County, Ohio, where he was born on
the 6th of May, 1839, his parents being James and Mary A. (Stoker) Combs,
the former a native of Maryland, and the latter of Pennsylvania. The
grandfather, John Combs, came from England, and was one of the early
settlers of Hagerstown, Md. In the early history of the State he moved
to Perry County, Ohio. Grandfather Stoker was a German, who first
settled in Pennsylvania after coming to America, and late moved to
Fairfield County, Ohio. The parents of our subject spent the most of
their lives in Perry County, Ohio, and the father was an extensive
farmer. He was a drummer in the Black Hawk War, and his drum is still
in possession of the family. He was a Whig in politics, then a Republican,
and for many years of his life was a member of the regular Baptist Church.
He died at the age of fifty-seven years. His wife was a Methodist, and
died when seventy-four years old. Thomas H. Combs is the fifth of their
nine children, and attended the common schools in his youth. When his
father died he left his property to his two eldest sons, with the
understanding that they should educate and support the younger children
and their mother, but the boys forgot their promise, and at the early
age of thirteen years, Thomas H. began earning his own living, working
on a farm. In 1858 he emigrated to Knox County, Mo., and the following
year to Sangamon County, Ill. He then returned to Ohio, and October 11,
1861, enlisted in Company D, Sixty-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
U. S. A., and served a little over three years, and rose from a private
to captain of his company. He was soon after transferred to Company H
of the same regiment, and took part in the battles of Winchester, Port [sic]
Republic and Fort Wagner. In the last named battle a charge was made after
night, and all the officers of his regiment were either killed or wounded.
He, as second sergeant, ordered his regiment across the ditch onto the fort,
and he and another man, in the dead of night, carried the wounded of the
regiment to a place of safety. In recognition of his meritorious conduct
he was commissioned captain. After this he was in the battle of Deep
Bottom, Va., and many minor engagements. Early in the service, while
unloading goods, he injured himself for life. After receiving his
discharge in Virginia he returned home, and was married, on the 28th
of February, 1865, to Miss Hattie N. Shaw, who was born in Fairfield
County, Ohio, and by her became the father of these children: Tonah A.,
Dora B., Orpha O., Orrin P., Mary A. and Elmer C. Mr. and Mrs. Combs
are members of the Methodist Church, and in his political views he is a
Republican, and cast his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln.
He is a member of the Masonic fraternity. In 1865 he moved from his
native State to Shelby County, Ill., from there to Kansas in 1867, and
to Barton County, Mo., in 1869. Although he received very poor
educational advantages, he has taken great interest in education his
children, two of whom are successful teachers.
Most frames have a comb foundation inserted before the bees move in even though they can make their own. This is what natural comb looks like. Perhaps they were inspired by the arts.
No comb. Just the package.
Of course, I would buy the package only.

Ornamental Comb
Predynastic, Late Naqada III, ca. 3200–3100 B.C., Egypt
Ivory
Finely carved ivory combs and knife handles produced toward the end of Egypt's prehistory demonstrate the high standards Egyptian artists had achieved, even before the Old Kingdom. This comb may have been part of the funeral equipment of an elite person who lived about 5,200 years ago. Parts of the comb's teeth, now missing, can be seen along the bottom edge. The detailed decoration suggests that it was a ceremonial object, not just an instrument for arranging the hair. On both sides are figures of animals in horizontal rows, a spatial organization familiar from later Egyptian art. The animals include elephants and snakes; wading birds and a giraffe; hyenas; cattle; and perhaps boars. Similar arrangements of these creatures on other carved ivory implements suggest that the arrangement and choice of animals were not haphazard. Elephants treading on snakes suggest that this part of the scene was symbolic. The mythologies of many African peoples associate elephants and serpents with the creation of the universe. The uppermost row of this comb may symbolize a creative deity to whom the rest of the animals owe their existence.
