Notes:

I was doing a 6 day trek in Isalo National Park. We were very far from any civilization. I was surprised when I woke up one morning to see 2 honey collectors trading some wild honey comb for some of our food. I ate the honey combs and it was delicious. It was the first time I had eaten honey comb.

Yes, it was very sweet. I chewed on them until there were just some hard bits left, then spit it out.
