How to Get Honeycomb in Minecraft

If you’re building candles, honey blocks, or beehives in Minecraft, you’re going to need honeycomb. But if you’ve ever stood in front of a beehive wondering what to do next, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you’re trying to figure out how to get honeycomb in Minecraft, how to make honeycomb in Minecraft, or how to harvest it safely, this guide will help you out, and we’ll even show you how to earn free gift cards that can be used to buy Minecraft or Minecoins with the Fetch app.

How to make honeycomb in Minecraft

Let’s clear this one up first: you can’t craft honeycomb. Unlike honey blocks (which are crafted from honey bottles), honeycomb only comes from bee nests or beehives. So if you’re looking for how to make honeycomb in Minecraft, the real answer is: you need to harvest it.

How to harvest honeycomb in Minecraft

Here’s what you need:

• Shears
• A beehive or bee nest at honey level 5 (you’ll see honey dripping from it)
• A campfire placed underneath the hive (or a lit fire block)
• Optional: A glass bottle to collect honey if you change your mind

Steps to harvest honeycomb in Minecraft

1. Place a campfire directly beneath the beehive to keep bees calm.
2. Wait until the hive has reached honey level 5 — honey will visibly drip from the sides.
3. Use your shears on the hive.
4. Collect the 1-3 honeycomb that drop!

Pro tip: Don’t forget the campfire — otherwise, bees will get angry and attack!

What you can craft with honeycomb

Once you’ve gathered some, you can use honeycomb to:

• Craft decorative beehives
• Make candles
• Create waxed copper blocks to prevent oxidation

How to find bees and beehives in Minecraft

To get honeycomb, you’ll need bees — and bees need flowers. Here’s where to look:

• Plains
• Sunflower plains
• Meadows
• Forest biomes

Look for oak or birch trees with bee nests attached. Once you’ve found one, you can also craft your own beehives using wood planks and honeycomb — just don’t forget to plant flowers nearby to keep your bees happy.
