Honey Bottle in Minecraft: Poison Cure From the Bee Farm

Quick answer: Use minecraft:honey_bottle in Java Edition commands. Harvest honey bottles by using a glass bottle on a bee nest or beehive at honey level five; drinking one removes poison and restores a little hunger.

Harvesting honey without getting stung

Bees fill their nest with honey over time, shown by dripping honey at level five. Use a glass bottle on the nest to collect a honey bottle, but expect angry bees unless you calm them first.

Place a lit campfire directly under the nest or hive before harvesting and the bees stay calm. Dispensers with bottles can harvest automatically, which is how honey farms run without player risk.

  • Harvest: glass bottle on a level-five nest or hive.
  • Campfire underneath keeps bees calm.
  • Shears on the nest give honeycomb instead, for beehives and candles.

What honey bottles are for

Drinking honey removes the poison effect specifically, making it the targeted answer to cave spiders, bees, and pufferfish without wiping your good effects the way milk does.

Craft four honey bottles into a honey block for redstone slime-style mechanics and slow-fall parkour, or into sugar for brewing. Honey blocks also stick to entities without sticking to slime blocks, enabling compact flying machines.
