An apparatus for cutting honeycomb from a honey frame comprising a frame with an opening for inserting a honey frame and at least one blade supported by the frame. The at least one blade is adapted to pivot between a first position where a honey frame can be inserted into the opening and a second position where the blade will cut the honeycomb.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for extraction of beeswax from honeycomb products. In an embodiment, a membrane may be positioned to receive beeswax rendered from a honeycomb product. The membrane may have holes of a sufficient size formed therein to permit beeswax heated to a liquid state to pass through while impeding impurities from passing through. A tray may be disposed beneath the perforated screen to receive and/or collect liquified beeswax passing through the membrane. A drain may allow the received and/or collected liquified beeswax to escape the tray for further processing.
