To get honeycomb in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Find a bee nest or beehive that is full of honey. Bee nests spawn naturally on trees in biomes like Meadows, Plains, and Flower Forests. The nest is ready to harvest when its honey level reaches 5, visible by honey dripping from it
- Use a pair of shears on the full bee nest or beehive. This will drop 3 honeycombs. Be careful, as this action will anger the bees inside, causing them to attack you
- To prevent bees from becoming hostile, place a campfire directly beneath or within 5 blocks of the nest before harvesting. The smoke calms the bees and stops them from attacking
- You can use honeycomb for crafting beehives, candles, honeycomb blocks (decorative), and waxing copper blocks to prevent oxidation
In summary, honeycomb is obtained by shearing a full bee nest or beehive using shears, ideally with a campfire nearby to keep bees calm
