Honey

Honey
Honey [Left] is the glorious sweet, viscous "dish" prepared by the elegant work of a hive of busy bees. The glorious golden liquid (not to be confused with urine) may be obtained through the murder of one of the fine creatures that made the saccharine juice; a bee, the destruction of a Bee Hive , or harvesting of a Bee Box. (All of which will result in some rather spectacularly furious bees.)

Food Properties
As this applies to the realm outside of Wilson's world-- the one not of hatred and pencil scribbles that all want to eviscerate him in the most brutal way possible, honey does not aid in the prevention of starvation much. As a matter of the fact, the sap only provides the consumer with a sense of well-being and good flavor a a "fullness" can only be obtained in large quantities of the nectar. Such logic can be applied to the realm that does indeed wish to massacre any gentleman that threatens the land. As such, Wilson, the esteemed gentleman scientist, percieves better health and a more stable body rather than the glorious fullness that is obtained by none other than meat.

But this does everything but rule out honey as a useful ingredient for any dangerous predicament or kitchen time. In fact, as previously mentioned in the beautiful linking of the realms of digital and reality, meat provides a sense of fullness for our dear Wilson; as the nectar of a bee's hard labor allows a sense of healing, well-being. Wilson, being the creative genius he is, decides choices are for "chumps" and can therefore create the magnificent dish that is what he deems "Honeyed Ham." [Right]

Honey Heals for 10 "health points" and provides 2 "stomach points"

Obtaining the best of both worlds with such an accomplishment, this is a debateable finest dish you can wish to obtain in your either lifetimes; virutal and real. But as such, making a meal as exquisite as this requires labor, much so. The slaughter of living, breathing animals that never quite commited any crime or violated any rules is necessary for a feast as fantasmical as the glory of Honeyed Ham. And so is the possibly lethal harvest of the toothsome nectar of bees.

Harvesting
As harvesting the sap of bees can be arduous and some cases proven lethal, proper protection against the winged, bloodthirsty insects (only if provoked) is a must. A beekeeper's net is much advised, as this bee not a joking matter. A gentleman should never feel the full brunt of a blow from a bees stinger; no, he uses his cunning, his versatility and ability to make a net out of stringy stuff "...from a spider's butt."

Other harvesting techniques exist when it comes to bees; a beekeeper's helm is unneeded in such trivial steps. Most prominent about them is that they are reliable, and if completed right, can lead to a low-cost high-profit harvest.

Typical Harvesting
Typical harvesting is a well protected, slow process with low-risk and easy repeatability. Equip your character with a beekeeper's helmet and logsuit to safely reap the benefits of a bee box; or go smash a bee hive with the same armor equipped and a weapon of choice.



Nightly Harvest
This is a low-cost harvesting technique; friendlier for those who are ill-equipped silk-wise. Equip your character with a torch in dead night and harvest the bee boxes. As they become agressive towards you, run into the darkness with your portable light source until they tire. Head back to your home base/fire pit/campfire.

Coward's Way Out
This is quite simply the absolutely most basic and lazy tactic of the elegant act of harvest there is; you harvest and run away until the bees stop chasing. You now have your honey and a very happy scientist.
