Eating honeycombs (probably stupid...)

[ArtsyDrawer]

I have people in my life who swear on eating honeycombs. I've tried one. It tastes exactly like candle wax. It probably IS exactly candle wax.
Still, people both in my life and outside of it swear it's healthy somehow.
What would be arguments for and against eating them?
I'm talking about the kind you find in a grocery store with overly expensive honey.

Never ate those but I always thought honeycombs look tasty

it has a wax texture to the mouth but i love these things for giving me a sense im eating raw natural honey....It gives more to the mouth to chum than liquid honey
