While Honeycomb doesn't have a ton of uses in Minecraft , the process of acquiring even a single drop of it can be extremely time-consuming. This can make crafting candles, beehives, and waxed copper a taxing proposition. Fortunately, we have a full guide on the entire Honeycomb-making process in Minecraft, which you can see below.
Honeycomb isn't something you can make or cook in Minecraft. Instead, you need to utilize bees to add the item to your inventory. Bees are a somewhat recent addition in Minecraft and they can be used to procure Honeycomb straight from the source, which is inside a Bee Nest or Beehive.
Bee Nests and Beehives are essentially the same thing, but Bee Nests appear naturally while Beehives are human-made blocks. For the most part, you're looking for a Bee Nest if you haven't come across Bees or Honeycomb before, but either block works to obtain Honeycomb. You can find a Bee Nest randomly in trees across the world in Minecraft.
They're sometimes difficult to see beneath blocks of leaves, but they're bright yellow and often spawn near the base of trees instead of higher up. If you're struggling to locate a Bee Nest, be on the lookout for buzzing Bees, as they'll often be near their base of operations. You can track the Bees and they'll usually lead you to their home.
Before you head out looking for any Bee Nests, though, you need to have a pair of Shears in your inventory. Shears are crafted using Two Iron Ingots and placing them in the middle and bottom-l.
