This Stardew Valley guide focuses on honey production, a profitable yet often overlooked artisan good. This guide is updated for version 1.6.
Bee House Construction:
Honey is produced by bees housed in Bee Houses. The recipe unlocks at Farming Level 3, requiring:
- 40 Wood
- 8 Coal
- 1 Iron Bar
- 1 Maple Syrup
Bee Houses can also be obtained from the Fall Crops Bundle (Community Center) or the Mayor's Prize Counter. Place Bee Houses outdoors (not in the Greenhouse) for honey production every 3-4 days (except Winter; year-round on Ginger Island). Moving a Bee House with an axe or pickaxe drops any ready honey.
Honey Types & Flower Proximity:
Honey type and value depend on nearby flowers (within five tiles, including Garden Pots). No flowers result in Wild Honey (100g, 140g with Artisan profession).
The Artisan profession (Farming Level 10) increases artisan good value by 40%. Prices (base/Artisan):
| Honey Type | Base Sell Price | Artisan Sell Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tulip Honey | 160g | 224g |
| Blue Jazz Honey | 200g | 280g |
| Sunflower Honey | 260g | 364g |
| Summer Spangle Honey | 280g | 392g |
| Poppy Honey | 380g | 532g |
| Fairy Rose Honey | 680g | 952g |
Harvesting flowers before collecting honey reverts the honey to Wild Honey. Wild Seeds don't affect honey type.
Honey Uses:
- Selling: Higher-value honeys are best sold directly.
- Mead: Use honey in a Keg to make Mead (200g/280g base/Artisan). Aging in a Cask increases quality and value (Silver: 250g/350g, Gold: 300g/420g, Iridium: 400g/560g). Honey type doesn't affect Mead value.
- Crafting: Combine honey, Hardwood, and Fiber to craft a Warp Totem: Farm (Farming Level 8).
- Gifting: Honey is a liked gift for most villagers (except Maru and Sebastian). Mead is also popular (avoid Penny, Sebastian, and children).
