Honeycomb

Rarity color	Common
Renewable	Yes
Stackable	Yes (64)

Honeycombs are items obtained from bee nests and beehives.

Obtaining[]

When a bee nest or beehive at honey_level 5 is sheared, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit campfire or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.

A dispenser with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.

Usage[]

Waxing[]

Using a honeycomb on a block of copper changes the block into its waxed variant, preventing oxidation of the copper.
