Honey is a Food item created by Bees. Honey may be obtained by killing a Bee, destroying a Bee Hive, or by harvesting a Bee Box. (All of which will result in angry Bees that will attack the character.)

Food Properties

Honey provides 3 health points and 9 hunger points. However, 1 honey can be combined with 2 meat in the Crock Pot to create Honeyed Ham, 2 honey can be combined with a pumpkin plus a filler to make Pumpkin Cookie and 3 honey can be combined with a filler to create Taffys. These last two recipes refill your insanity bar as of the latest update. It perish after 40 days unless put in the Ice Box.

Harvesting

Adequate protection against hostile winged insects.

As harvesting honey will cause all bees in the area to attack the player, it's a good idea to craft a beekeeper's helmet beforehand.

Typical Harvesting

Typical harvesting is a well protected, slow process with low-risk and easy repeatability. Equip the character with a beekeeper's helmet and logsuit to safely reap the benefits of a bee box or smash a bee hive.

Nightly Harvest

This is a low-cost harvesting technique and is friendlier for those who are ill-equipped. Equip the character with a torch at night and harvest the bee boxes. As they become aggressive towards the character, run into the darkness with a portable light source until they tire.

Abigail Harvest

The Abigail harvest is used solely with Wendy. Before dusk, head to a beehive and when Abigail spawns, go to attack the beehive and then walk away. Abigail will attack and destroy the beehive and it will not aggro the bees.
