Obtaining Honey Bees in Roblox Build an Island

Honey Bees can be purchased from Merchant Mike once you've unlocked the Beehive area. This particular area is on the left side of the island, next to the Sawmill and the Worker Hut. You'll need 30 Planks to unlock the Beehive area, which you can craft by processing Wood in the Sawmill.

After unlocking the area, you'll notice three tower-like structures next to a flower patch. These structures are Beehives that can be made operational by putting Honey Bees in them. Once any bees are placed inside, they will produce honey by taking continuous trips from the hive to the flowers.

A single Honey Bee in the Merchant Shop costs 120 Gold. Although it is expensive than some crop seeds in Build an Island, the gold is worth investing. Honey Bees do not disappear, regularly work on the hive, and you can recover the expenditure on a bee by selling just three Honeycombs. The best part is that they do not sting.

Utilizing Honey Bees in Build an Island

Once you have a Honey Bee in your inventory, equip it, stand near one of the Beehives, and then interact with it. Your avatar will place the bee inside the hive, following which the creature will get to work. Forming Honeycombs takes several minutes, so consider returning to Build an Island after a quick break.

A total of five Honey Bees can be placed inside a single hive. However, it's more effective to put bees in separate hives instead of placing them in a single one. This ensures the Honeycomb output slowly reaches its limit while you're offline.

To collect a Honeycomb, simply tap the Beehive once the bees have finished their work. The Honeycombs are added to your inventory after which you can sell them to the Merchant. At the moment, you cannot craft more valuable items or resources with a Honeycomb, but that may change with future updates.
