Honeycomb can be processed into honey and wax. First, place an empty fired bowl or [[Wooden_Bucket|bucket]] on the ground. Next, while holding the honeycomb, aim the cursor at the empty container and right click to "squeeze" the honey from the comb. This action will it with honey and the remaining wax will appear in the player's inventory. Each honeycomb yields 0.25 liters of honey and one wax. A bowl holds honey from one honeycomb portion, while a bucket holds honey from 40 honeycombs (10 liters), and a barrel holds 5 buckets (50 liters) of honey.  

When eaten, Honey restores 0.5 health points. Honey can also be used to make [[Cooking|jam]], added to meals like porridge, or to craft healing poultices. Wax (stacks to 32) can be used to seal food crocks for long term [[food preservation]], and crafted into a [[Light sources|candles]] by placing three wax in a column in the crafting grid. Candles never burn out and can be placed on top of solid blocks or in chandeliers. Up to 9 candles can be placed on the same block and each candle added to the block increases the light level.  Candles are also used to craft [[Crafting_Recipes#Light_Sources|lanterns]].
