Honey

Honey is produced by bees inside their beehives.

Acquisition

• Before you can start making Honey, you need to find a Queen Bee and build a Beehive.
• Bees need to be happy to produce honey.
• It takes roughly 20 minutes to produce 1 unit of Honey.
• A Beehive can hold up to 4 Honey at once.

If you want to get your hands on a steady supply of honey, you will need to set up some Beehives. To do so, you need to find a wild Beehive that usually appear around abandoned buildings in the Meadows biome, destroy it, and grab the Queen Bee inside. Then construct a Beehive by combining Queen Bee with 10 Wood, and place it near your base. This beehive will now continuously produce Honey for you.

For your bees to produce Honey, they need to be happy. This usually means that their Beehives need to just be outside and not too close together. It takes roughly 20 minutes to produce a single unit of Honey, while a Beehive can hold up to 4 at a time.

Uses

• Raw Food
• Ingredient in Food and Meads

Food

You can eat raw Honey and receive a nice boost to your stamina for the early game. Eaten raw, Honey raises your health by 8, stamina by 35, and health regeneration by 1 hp/tick for 15 minutes. To eat Honey, you can simply right-click on its icon in your inventory. You can eat Honey together with two other food types, but you can’t eat multiple instances of Honey at once.

When you eat Honey, you’ll be granted a buff with its full effects. As time goes on, this buff will grow weaker as your character becomes hungrier. When the buff has 50% of its duration left, or 7.5 minutes, the buff icon will begin to flash and you’ll be able to eat more Honey and refresh its effects.
