What is this "stick" (used with honey) called in English?!
I saw two photos of liquid honey and a "stick" with a swirly head. The "stick" seems to be wooden, and it looks like something used for dipping. I'm curious because I've never seen it before, I use only spoons for dipping honey. Could you tell me what is the English name of the "stick" please? And how do you use it please?

And I don't think it should be called "honeycomb", because in my mind a "honeycomb" is something different. Please see this picture with both the "stick" and a "honeycomb" here:

Wooden Bee Honey Dipper
It is not used to stir but rather to dip as in a spoon. It eliminates some of the mess you would have if you were dipping with the spoon. The honey is caught in the grooves and you are not left with a string of honey from the bottle to the plate when using it.
pretty basic, it's called a honey dipper. you're right honeycomb is the parrafin like cells that the honey is sealed into in the hive.
TIm N and Golden are correct. It's called a "honey dipper". The question you linked to under "additional details" had the wrong answer chosen as best answer.
A honeycomb is what's shown with the honey dipper in the picture you linked to at flickr in your 3rd link. It's a structure of rows of hexagonal wax cells, formed by bees in their hive for the storage of honey, pollen, and their eggs.
Either a honey dipper or a honey dripper.
