A Bee House is the reward for completing the Fall Crops Bundle in the Pantry. Four Bee Houses can be obtained as the 19th prize from the Prize Machine (50% chance).

To make honey, place a Bee House on the farm during any season but winter, and wait 4 nights. Bee houses can be placed indoors (e.g., in the Greenhouse) but will not produce honey there, regardless of any flowers within range. Bee houses placed outside the farm will produce wild honey every 4 days, but they will be destroyed if they are placed in a villager's path.

A fully-grown and unharvested flower within 5 tiles of a Bee House (including those grown in Garden Pots) will cause it to produce flower honey, which always sells for more than flowerless Wild Honey. Flowers that are normally foraged (i.e., Crocus and Sweet Pea) do not affect the honey. Additionally, a Dandelion or Daffodil will not affect the honey as these items are classified as forage rather than flowers.

The type of honey is established the moment it is harvested. If a Bee House has produced flower honey, but the flower is harvested before the honey, the honey will become wild honey. Similarly, if a Bee House has produced flowerless wild honey, but the honey is harvested after a flower bloomed in range, the harvested honey will be flower honey.

Range

Flower zone indicator for modified Honey.

With the exception of Crocus and Sweet Pea, the Bee House can produce unique types of honey when it is within 5 tiles in any cardinal direction of a blooming flower (for a total area of 60, excluding the tile the Bee House is placed on). When there is more than one type of flower within range, the closest flower takes priority. At equal distances, the flower at the horizontal left takes priority, followed by the next clockwise flower.

Tips

Planting flowers near Bee Houses on Ginger Island will produce flavored Honey year-round.
Garden Pots can be used in parts of the farm and Ginger Island farm where flowers can't be planted.
Filling all inventory slots but 1 will allow collecting honey without collecting any adjacent flowers.
Planting a Sunflower on Summer 20 will make sure flower honey can be harvested in early Fall
