How to Get Honeycomb in Minecraft Introduction

Honeycombs are super useful in Minecraft, and who doesn’t love honey? Who would go against this gooey goodness? Whether in real life or in the game, honey is dope. In Minecraft, honeycombs are used for crafting the good stuff, just like other resource (DUH!). They come from bees and their hives (yes, you heard it right, honey comes from honey hives lmao), giving players a chance to make out-of-the-way decorations and useful blocks. SO, get in this car of mine (I mean ill guide you through) which runs flower nectar and I’ll show you what you can do with it.
