How to Get a Bee House and Honey in Stardew Valley

Let’s first check out out the steps to get a bee house which will then be followed by the instructions to acquire honey.

Getting Bee House

There are two methods to get a bee house in Stardew Valley. Firstly, you could craft them using 40 pieces of Wood, eight pieces of Coal, one Iron Bar, and one jar of Maple Syrup. If this is too much for you, then you could also acquire a bee house by completing the Fall Crops Bundle. As soon as you complete it, the spirits will offer you the bee house as a reward. Although you could place them indoor as well inside the greenhouse, then they won’t be able to produce honey. On the other hand, place a bee house outside and you will be able to produce wild honey every four days. Moreover, do remember that you don’t end up placing bee houses in the villager’s path, they might end up destroying them.

Getting Honey

Now that you have successfully set up the bee house, it’s time to reap in its benefits in the form of honey. These bees will be able to produce honey across all the seasons, except for winter. As and when winter starts, they will go to the hibernation mode, and wait for the spring to arrive. As already mentioned, these bees produce honey after every four days, weighing near about 100 grams. Furthermore, you could also increase the values of the honey by surrounding your bee house with flowers. It is not that the flowers will only benefit, rather all the nearby bee houses will also get in the rewards. It is therefore recommended to plant thee flowers in a central location surrounded by many bee houses.

So all the flowers within the five tiles of the bee houses will increase the selling prices of the below-mentioned items. Do keep in mind their growth time as well.
