Mousie,   Yes,  and I have no clue why a raptor would go for a honeycomb.  No clue either as to where he found it and how he got it loose   Usually the combs are pretty secure even when the bees swarm.   When they swarm and set up a comb in a tree or a tree V,  it needs to be secure due to the weight of the swarm and the growing comb.   I am guessing he found it in an old log or old hollow tree.
