Honeycomb is a resource obtained by using shears on a full bee nest or beehive. It does not anger bees if the hive is harvested while a campfire is placed underneath to produce smoke.
Honeycomb is primarily used for crafting beehives, candles, and waxed copper blocks, which prevent copper from oxidizing. It can also be crafted into honeycomb blocks for decorative purposes.
Unlike honey bottles, honeycomb cannot be consumed and does not restore hunger. However, it is essential for bee farming and preserving copper builds, making it a valuable resource for builders and beekeepers.
