As your progress in your chosen Luma Island profession, you’ll need to get collect different types of materials to complete the recipes on your quest list. The further you get in your profession, the more rare these ingredients get, and one that you’ll eventually need to get your hands on is Honey.
Honey is one of the ingredients mostly needed in the last step to reaching Master status in your chosen profession, but it’s not something you can buy from the shop in town or come by without a little bit of effort. Here’s everything you need to know about getting Honey in Luma Island.

How to Get Honey
The first step to getting Honey in Luma Island is building a Beehive and placing it on your farm. The schematic for a Beehive can be bought from the Drawing Shop in town for 2,500 gold coins, and you need the following materials to build it:
- 10 Mountain Sap
- 10 Mountain Planks
- 10 Mountain Flowers
- 1 Queen Bee
As you can see, you need to reach the Mountain and get most of the materials for a Beehive from this biome before you can start generating Honey. Mountain Sap can be found by chopping trees and sap branches in the biome, while the flowers can be found spread across the area on the ground. They’re white, so when you reach the snowy areas of the Mountain, be aware that they may be difficult to spot. Planks can be made from Mountain Wood at the Saw Mill.
However, the Queen Bee is an interesting requirement which you can’t necessarily search for. They appear randomly around the Farm and the Forest, and you need to catch them with your net. It’s similar to the way river and ocean critters will appear, except they’ll likely be meandering around the land and among the trees. So, be sure to keep your eye out for them while you’re exploring and catch them when you can.
Once you’ve built your Beehive, you can place it on your farm near crops that need Beehives and the Bees inside will start generating Honey. At a rate of about once per day, you can check your Beehive and you’ll find Honey dropped nearby.
If you chose the Brewer or Cook profession, then you’ll know that Bees are necessary if you want to plant and successfully grow certain crops like Pumpkins and Cocoa Beans. Similar to Sprinklers, when you place your Beehive, you’ll see a large blue square around it. This square indicates which plants your Bees will pollinate, so make sure your Pumpkin and Cocoa seeds fall into this square so the Bees can get to work.
If you didn’t take the Brewer or Cook profession, then you’ll need to unlock these crops through those professions. The recipes that require crops grown from the Bees’ pollination are only unlocked in the third stage of the questline, but if you’ve already progressed enough through a different profession, it shouldn’t take too long to reach the point where you’re buying Pumpkin and Cocoa seeds in Luma Island.
