Sun Haven likes it when players experiment a bit to discover some of the hidden items they can use and sell. Honey is a very good resource that you would need to put some effort into getting. Though honey isn’t the most expensive food item you can make (depending on the flowers you use), it is certainly helpful, as it will increase your mana or health by a decent amount each time you eat it. Luckily, once you set up your bee box properly, you will have an endless supply of honey that you can eat, sell, use in quests, and, sometimes, even gift to Vaan. Here is how you can make and use a bee box in Sun Haven to get honey and start increasing your mana and health pool to the skies.

How to Make a Bee Box in Sun Haven
To make honey in Sun Haven, you will first need to make a bee box. To unlock the bee box recipe, you will need to level up Farming and get the Beekeeper skill. You will need to get to level 6 to get the first level of the skill.
You can find the bee box at the Crafting Table and you will have to use 40 wood planks, 80 stones, and 2 fire crystals. It will take around 40 minutes for the bee box to craft.
Once you have the bee box ready, just set it down somewhere where it isn’t surrounded by anything. You will need that space to make the honey.
