The specific instructions are: Bedrock edition InvSprite.
Honey blocks are sticky blocks craftable from honey bottles.
Obtaining
Honey blocks can be broken instantly, regardless of held items.

Usage
Entities touching the side of a honey block fall at a slower speed and do not take fall damage, similar to going down a ladder.
When pushed by a piston, entities on its top surface and adjacent blocks move with it. Mobs are not launched high in the air if a piston pushes them up, unlike the slime block's behavior.
Mobs avoid walking on honey blocks.
Unlike the slime block, the honey block does not carry a redstone signal.
Slowing down entities
Honey blocks slow down entities walking on top of them and prevent them from jumping. Players, who can ordinarily jump about 1 1⁄4 blocks high, can only jump about 3⁄16 blocks high on honey. They can more easily step up onto other blocks than jump up onto them.
Falling
As with hay bales, falling onto a honey block reduces the fall damage by 80%, i.e. the player or mob takes 20% of the normal fall damage.
Bees
When placed near beehives or bee nests, bees will occasionally fly close and attach to it for a few seconds, resembling an action of "eating honey". When doing this, a bee stops flattering wings and firmly attaches its face to a honey block.
This is regardless if there is any flower around.

Trivia
- Honey blocks are not full blocks, they are 14*14 pixels on each side. Small-enough entities (like arrows) are free to move through the gap between honey blocks.
- Only when entities are partially “in” the honey block can they slide down against it.
- In real life, bees do eat honey when temperature is low and flowers are difficult to find. Otherwise pollen is their primary food.
- It traps you if you glide on its side using Elytra, although you can use Fireworks or a Trident enchanted with Riptide to boost yourself out of it.
- It also prevent swimming if the water is shallow enough. But once you start swimming on it, you will be slowed.
- Although it is sticky on top and sides, the bottom part doesn't do anything but still holds blocks.
