If the honeycombs are dry, then they were stored incorrectly or for too long. It is also better not to buy thawed honeycombs due to the fact that when frozen, the beneficial properties of honey are lost. White worms also indicate improper storage of the product.
Having considered all the pros and cons, we can conclude: there is more benefit than harm, but there is harm, and before you try honeycomb, make sure that you do not have any of the above contraindications.
