Luma Island: How to get honey

As you progress in your favorites Luma Island profession, you will need to gather different kinds of materials to complete the recipes in your quest list. The further you advance in your profession, the rarer these ingredients become, and one of them you will eventually need is honey.

Honey is one of the ingredients most needed in the last step to mastering your chosen profession, but it's not something you can buy in a city store or acquire without much effort. Here's everything you need to know about attracting Honey Luma Island.

How to get honey

The first step to enabling Honey Luma Island there is build a hive and place it on your farm. The hive blueprint can be purchased from the art shop in town for 2500 gold and you will need the following materials to build it:

• 10 Mountain juice
• 10 mountain boards
• 10 mountain flowers
• 1 queen bee

As you can see, you need to get to the mountain and get most of the hive materials from this biome before you can start making honey. Mountain sap can be found by cutting trees and sap branches in the biome, while flowers can be found scattered throughout the area on the ground. They are white, so when you reach the snowy areas of the Mountain, be aware that they can be hard to spot. Planks can be made from mountain wood at a sawmill.

However, the queen bee is an interesting requirement that you are not necessarily looking for. They appear randomly on the farm and in the forest, and you need to catch them with a net. It's similar to how river and ocean creatures will appear, except they're more likely to roam around the ground and among the trees. So, be sure to keep an eye out for them as you explore and catch them when you can.

Once you've built your hive, you can place it on your farm next to crops that need hives and the bees inside will start producing honey. About once a day you can check your hive and you will find honey that has dropped nearby.

If you've chosen a career as a brewer or chef, then you'll know that bees are essential if you want to plant and successfully grow certain crops, such as pumpkins and cocoa beans. Similar to sprinklers, when you place your hive you will see a large blue square around it. This square indicates which plants your bees will pollinate, so make sure your pumpkin and cacao seeds fall into this square so the bees can get to work.

If you haven't chosen the Brewer or Cook professions, then you'll need to unlock these crops through those professions. Recipes that require bee-pollinated crops are only unlocked at the third stage of the questline, but if you're already advanced enough in another profession, it shouldn't take long to reach the point where you're buying pumpkin and cocoa seeds in Luma Island.
