You can easily harvest honeycomb in the bee nests. Honeycombs are also easy to get, except for one problem. Bees get aggressive towards you if you do not take the right steps. Before you try harvesting the honeycomb, make sure you have shears and a campfire with you. You need shears to collect honeycombs from the bee nests and a campfire to place at the bottom of the nest so that bees don’t harm you. It is best to remember that the bee nests should be full of honey before using the shears. If there is no honey, then you can’t get any honeycombs.
What Can I Do With Honeycomb in Minecraft?
There are various things you can craft using honeycomb. You can use them as decoration blocks or make useful items like candles and beehives:
Making a Candle
Candles are a light source item in the game that can look very aesthetic. You will need a string and a honeycomb to craft a candle. Place the string on top of the honeycomb in the crafting table’s GUI, and the finished product on the right will be a candle.
Making Beehives
You can also make an artificial home for the bees near your home and start living as a beekeeper by making beehives. To do so, you can use three honeycombs in the middle row of the crafting table and add wooden planks on both upper and lower rows of the GUI. You can then take the beehive from the product section on the right.
Waxing Copper Blocks
Waxing copper blocks ensures that your block does not oxidize and turn green over time. You can wax any type of copper block, such as a block of copper, cut copper slab, cut copper stairs, or even exposed copper blocks. To wax your copper blocks using honeycombs, open your crafting table and place the copper block and the honeycomb next to each other. You can then take the waxed copper block from the right side of the GUI.
Making Honeycomb Block
Honeycomb blocks are decorative blocks that you can use to make your base or a build look better. Since honeycomb blocks are stackable, you can also turn honeycomb into honeycomb blocks so that they take up less space. You can place four honeycombs in a two by two space on the crafting table and take the honeycomb block from the product section.
Can I Get Honeycomb from Beehives?
Beehives are man-made nests you can build in Minecraft using three honeycombs and six wooden planks. Harvesting honeycombs from beehives is also as easy as harvesting them from the bee’s nests.
