Honeycomb
Not to be confused with Honeycomb Block.
Honeycombs are items obtained from bee nests and beehives.
Obtaining[edit]
See also: Tutorials/Honey farming
When a bee nest or beehive at honey_level
5 is sheared, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit campfire or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.
A dispenser with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.
