Step 3 – Harvesting Wax and Making Candles
Place the Campfire beneath the Bee Nest to make the bees non-aggressive to you, and wait for the Bee Hive to fill with honey. Use the shears on the Bee Next to harvest Honeycombs once it is full. Now to craft a candle, open the crafting table and place the string in the center grid in the middle row.
Place the Honeycomb directly below the string and craft. Voila! You have created a candle. You can also make dyed candles by placing things like beetroot, cocoa beans, flowers, and ink sacs on the crafting table next to the candle.
