Important Note(s)/Correction(s): 1. Like mentioned in the video, this is my opinion. Depending on your priorities, character or playstyle, you may find more value in other food farms than the one I described. 2. Since the behavior of bees changes throughout the seasons, I should have mentioned Winter and Spring. Even though bees will stop actively producing honey during winter, the honey farm provides so much food and honey takes such a long time to spoil that simply doing two harvests in a row or spending the day harvesting honey once before winter will produce more than enough honey to keep you fed for the entire season. Bees become hostile during spring, but the honey farm still works since you're moving so quickly that they still can't catch up to you (check the link in the description for proof of this). 3. This video is strictly comparing farms that produce food resources. In the broader sense, farms can produce much more than consumables, however it becomes very difficult to compare the value of food items (that basically boil down to hunger, health, sanity and spoilage time) to non-food resources. 4. @2:15 I state that Jelly Salad is a goody, but this is not true. Jelly Salad is considered meat which means Wurt cannot eat it. Thanks to chrisgw5360 for pointing this out. 5. After reading some comments about honey as an ingredient for Banana Shakes and reviewing the video, I think I should clarify that honey is not required to make this crockpot dish. You can use other things like berries, kelp or even twigs instead. However the reason I proposed using honey instead is because, with the honey farm featured in this video, IMO honey is cheaper than all of those other fillers including twigs considering you can get 80+ per day by spending just 30 seconds picking the stuff.
I really found funny how raw honey is just... a slop of honey, the survivors are litetally carrying it not even in a jar, in their pockets, and going Winnie Pooh style feasting.
Those recipe cards can also be erased! Sometimes if I can’t find the swamp early on and need a birdcage I just make one of those and erase the graveyard recipes 😂
I do agree 100%. I always build bee boxes because honey has so much value, and can help character that can struggle with the classic "meals" (warly, woormwood, wurt)
Lmaoo true, just remember to separate the stone fruit stacks to reduce lag. It’s also a super easy way of getting stones, and if you wanna carry them around, they still fill hunger nicely and restore 3 hp when cooked. Plus infinite spoilage unless needed, and have a value of 1 veggie in a crockpot
It takes too much time to constantly mine them tbh. My late-game setup is always just a honey farm. It's he best :) Pick Pick Pick for a couple days and stack your fridges and you'll be good for a season or two.
I like to harvest my honey during every winter so I can just ignore the angry bees. If I need food in a pinch, I go to my lureplant farm, which produces its product passively and automatically just like honey, and leafy meat is a darn good foodstuff.
I have always hated the spoilage, that's why honey farm is my favorite. On top of that, honey is simply too good to be true, being a filler and a sanity crackpot food. Only problem is, that the farm needs to be somehow away from the main base area, or else bees will be rather annoying in spring.
Really love your content, whenever I watch any of these vids I find myself with better understanding of the game and it's easier for me to survive!! thanks
My honey farm is built a little different. I have enough boxes in my farm so that I can get almost five stacks of honey in one harvest. I ususally play solo and all that honey takes forever to spoil, to the point that if I harvest the honey at the start of Winter, I have a source of reliable food for all three stats. The amount of honey I get will usually last a solo player up until about mid Autumn if harvested early Winter.
As wigfrid my fav farm is the dev graveyard werepig blender but for everyone else i agree on honey it's been my go to since i started playing in 2018. Yea cooking takes time but in late game winters i have nothing better to do than mass produce dishes for the next 1-5 years
@@luizfernandocostaataide8340 3 months late but: The farm that he is talking basically works by building a bunch of pig houses around a graveyard, and placing some food with long spoilage rate (Pig skin counts as a food for this purpose) in small fences in the middle to bait the pigs into perpetually walking against the fence (Will probably need at least 2 or 3 of those "baits"). The result is that during full moons the pigs will turn into werepigs, and the graveyard will spawn a bunch of ghosts that will kill them all while leaving all the loot. This is probably the best pig skin farm (Specially if you have a Wickerbottom to spawn full moons, but good even without her) and will probably be even better when Wendy's rework gets officially released.
@@luizfernandocostaataide8340 Nope, not guaranteed, at least not without mods. That is, until Wendy rework get released next month, since she will be able to create/move graves, essentially allowing for the cemetery to be artificially created.
I knew this for a long time, but I forgot how good it actually was, if you build a gigantic amount of bee boxes and a ton of flowers somewhat close to an area you tend to linger on and bam, once come winter and suddenly you have stacks of honey that will take around a year to spoil in a fridge
Thank you for telling me about how the ice flingo makes the bees stay in the hive for the rest of the day! I'll take this into account and place cobblestone roads near my honey farms instead.
Agree 👍 honey is very cheap and versatile. I am the type of building a lot of bee boxes and only harvest in winter, but your way of using magi and cobble to outrun bees is neat.
I wish you'd talk about unloaded bee boxes. I don't want to have bees near my base because because. Will they produce honey when unloaded? Do they still need flowers if I'll use that method? How many boxes will I need?
Interesting. I think I have a really weird grudge against low maintenance farms due to the nature of Don't Starve. Really cool to see all these methods, though; I never knew about that kelp-reaper farm.
This is so true, I never realised before the sheer fact why I only use my honey farm in 7k days megabase. I never even touch the rest even tho I have plenty of very efficient and high yield setups. Also its such a pleasure to collect honey at the start of winter since bee's are not coming out that season, you don't have to bother even kiting one of the easiest enemies to kite. #beeboxop
I definitely enjoy a honey farm. Forget how good it is, but it is true you can just take and hold onto it. I'll definitely keep this in mind. However when I see a juicy berry world, I generally get excited because I know I can get rot fast, without going down to find Toadstool.
My honey farm is just a field of angry beehives that spawned in my world and I play as Wendy and walk past like 6 hives then back into abigail and she kills them all without taking damage, Angry Beehives spawn all 6 bees per day to agro on you as you walk past, and 2 a few seconds later after the daily 6, and I pick up the pile of stingers and honey, only issue is the mass amount of stingers that I have no idea what to do with.
My first idea for the millions of stingers is I empty my inventory and fill it with stacks of 40 stingers and sit in one place and drop them all in the same spot, then I light them on fire, they burn really hot and for quite a while as each pile makes it hotter, it would be an easy thing to use to burn for whatever burning needs one may have, then the ash just blows away in the wind, unless you want it you can just collect it.
sure the bees dont produce when wormwood is blooming near them. BUT wormwood can harvest bee boxes with no reprocussions during every season if he has the bee kind skill unlocked (which you probly have since its just 1 extra point that is along the same tree as the bramble husk specialist)
nice video, but with 1 single gunpowder you can open up Infinite amount of stone fruit. giving all these rocks, thats a plus, and the 1% stone fruit sapling, you dont need to fertilize.
Plus the spoilage is zero till you open them. And you can also use slurtle slime which is cheaper than gunpowder. I do agree honey is still better though, 10 days is a long time to spoil, and you get it fast. But for long time expeditions, and/or cave food source, stone fruit is awesome
We are trying to play 5 friends game on PC. When we enter the game, it kicks us out after 10 minutes or so. We tried everything but couldn't figure it out. Does anyone have knowledge on this subject?
The only real flaw of a honey farm is probably the initial cost and effort of building it, but hey, spend like 2 or 3 days on that and you effectively solve hunger as an issue!
Here is a hot take , dried meat is the best food and also a cheaper version of pierogi , soo drying racks are mostly an upgrade, and you can mass produce them due to how many you can put in an ice flingomatic and the best part is that is has a long spoilage time just like pierogi and honey while restoring all stats
you have to constantly work on collecting meat. Once you make your bee boxes you don't have to think anymore just go and collect them, it think honey better
my only concern about the honey farm, is the fact that you waste more silk in Bug nets in order to get the bees and the butterflies for flowers, but after all is worted
I mean for 10 hives you just need 8 silk. And for the butterfly’s you’ll need an additional 12. All in all 20 silk really isn’t that much, you can easily get that early by breaking 8 level 1 spider dens
Using honey for healing is not really useful in boss fights, chugging down 13 honeys (39 hp) takes a lot longer than eating 1 pierogi for 40 hp. Also, you may need to heal more than 1 stack worth of honey so inventory management is an issue, Pierogi is still king, requiring only monster meats, which you get tons of anyway by just playing normally, + 2 kelps, which are absurdly efficient to pick and with slow spoilage time.
Bee Boxes are my favorite thing to do, even as a Wendy main. It's fun to slaughter spiders with my dead sister, but something about them bees.... I like being able to keep noobies alive that come into the server, and Honey is easy since you dont have to know anything about cooking or preserving for the noobies to live with it (assuming they don't charge Dfly, but that's another problem :P)
honey is op for Wanda taffy is only honey and gives extra hunger because its Wandas favorite and it won't hurt you because of Wandas health system it's also an endless amount of sanity.
Is there a way to make this work for blooming Wormwood? Since Wormwood attracts bees while in full bloom, the bees would stop producing honey and just chill by his side. But If you unload the farm, the bees wouldn't produce at max capacity.
surprised you never brought up the anenemy + volt goat farm. Its difficult to set up, but as long as you visit it regularly, you get free meat and volt goat horns for absolutely nothing
How do you deal with wormwood mains who are constantly in bloom? Do you just build the farm more than a screen away? Is that what the walls are for? I find that when I play with wormwoods I can't get the honey farms to work but I've never built one with this partiuclar setup.
I enjoy juicy berry bushes, they can’t regrow all year round true but they have near infinite spoil time as long as you don’t pick them, 2 monster meats and fisting 2 bushes fill you for a day
Good tip about the banana shakes but you could save the honey There and just straight up use two twigs Because somehow that’s allowed. Lmao And twigs are NOT an issue to obtain at all.
I don't think honey is clear cut the best farm in the game. We have factor in the initial investment to set it up and we spend a good chunk of time collecting all the the silk from spiders, then netting all those bees and butterflies besides a few aditional resources. They also don't produce anything during the winter. And the bees can be a bit annoying specially during the spring. Overall, I'd say honey farm is a mostly mid to late game farm, with its strength being mostly the automation and long spoilage time.
Nothing really beats kelp farm. Just run up hold space and you are done farming filler/vegies for best healing in the game pierogi. Just get meat from somewhere. Also with bee farm you need to feed flingo which is annoying in summer.
Lardee if you have played Ds then i think we both know that a actually good farm is just 30 seeds very much manure and lile eight improved farms. Why is this good? Because you can fully grow a plant with just six or less manure plus if its raining plants will grow too
Bee farms, unless late game, is just not very useful for me. I get enough filler by surviving, enough veggies through kelp, and enough meat through occasional kills and maybe doing some hunts every once in a while. Generally, I prefer a meat farm, as meat is just extremely versatile. Pig farms are my go to nowadays. But I’m more inclined to maybe build honey farm now.
Depends on how large your twig farm is, and how many other things you might be using twigs for. Twigs and honey are both good filler here, so it depends on context.
@milkforthekhorneflakes3581 you make 2 banana shakes, that's enough homey for a taffy which is another 15 free sanity Or you take literally 45 seconds to gather 4 twigs 🤷🏻 Idk maybe I'm crazy
@MisterBones223 you can get 80 honey in 30 seconds, every in game day. Unless you have a ton of winbots and twiggy trees, I think this method is far cheaper. Actually, how long does it take for twiggy trees to drop 2 twigs? Honey might still be cheaper. Only downside is that this doesn't work in winter.
@DevilJhoMama Absolutely not worth it to use honey Instead of using the honey for healing, sanity, or hunger on top of the banana shakes, you're deciding to waste them Instead of using twigs? Twigs are incredibly useful early to mid-game, but by the end of year one you should be swimming in twigs. Before day 10 you should've found the lunar island, gathered stonefruit bushes, kelp bulbs, and TONS of lunar saplings.
@MisterBones223 I never trust the people that say things like "before day x, you should've done x". There are a lot of things to prioritise, in the early game, and the lunar island is pretty low on my priority list. There is moon-quay island for wicker, farms for Warly, Archives for Wanda etc. Not even mentioning rushing the ruins. And even with the lunar saplings, honey is still faster to gather en masse than twigs. 30 seconds nets 80 honey every single in game day. You can't match that without an absurd amount of winbots and upgraded chests, not to mention how much space that would likely take up. Your entire argument relies on 3 key factors: 1. Honey is valuable, and isn't worth throwing away. This first point only works if you don't have this honey farm set up. You will easily have far more honey than you know what to do with, and lots of it will even rot assuming you're not just harvesting whenever you run out. 2. Twigs are easier to gather en masse than honey. Again, this is true if you don't have this honey farm set up, as winbots can be made fairly early into a world, and will passively stack twigs for you. However, any twig farm will still be outclassed by this honey farm, as far as I'm aware. 3. Honey provides more value if made into taffy, or eaten raw alongside meals, instead of being used as filler. This point is so silly I don't even really know how to address it. If you're making banana shakes for sanity, then you're not making taffy, simple as. Banana shakes are just better. The 80 honey is already good enough to last you 10 days food wise, you'll only need to make crock pot meals for health or sanity. You can't save it indefinitely either, it has a (quite generous) spoil timer. There is no reason to use twigs over honey unless the twigs are easier to get, which they aren't if you have this farm. Unless there is a twig farm that can make 80 twigs in 30 seconds, or can make more than 200 twigs per day. I'm not arguing that using twigs is wasteful, I'm arguing that with this farm set up, using honey is less wasteful. tldr: Honey is easier to obtain en masse than twigs, and saving it to eat raw when you could use twigs makes no sense. If for some reason using 2 out of your 80 daily honey is enough to cause you to starve, you can get more honey the very next day.
The fact that there are so many ways to obtain mass amounts of food really makes crop farming seem obsolete. I have always disliked the farm plots that were added since it nerfed bunnyman drops and wickers OG books just to appeal to newer players.

Not gonna lie, I'm jealous of that Guille notification :)
As a wormwood main I approve of this message
Also S+ tier wormwood when?
surprised you never brought up the anenemy + volt goat farm. Its difficult to set up, but as long as you visit it regularly, you get free meat and volt goat horns for absolutely nothing
How do you deal with wormwood mains who are constantly in bloom? Do you just build the farm more than a screen away? Is that what the walls are for? I find that when I play with wormwoods I can't get the honey farms to work but I've never built one with this partiuclar setup.
I enjoy juicy berry bushes, they can’t regrow all year round true but they have near infinite spoil time as long as you don’t pick them, 2 monster meats and fisting 2 bushes fill you for a day
how do you make wormwood crop farm
wake up honey new lardee video just dropped
I see what you did there
Good tip about the banana shakes but you could save the honey There and just straight up use two twigs
Because somehow that’s allowed.
Lmao
And twigs are NOT an issue to obtain at all.
I absolutely love ur content my man hope all is well with ya
now I am a honey fan
Please, make a video teaching How to Build this Bee Blz setup
thanks for the wall method
I knew it was honey. Yeah, honey it's OP, no surprise there.
Should I preserve all 14 plant seed?
How does the kelp reaper thing work?
Where my giant crop farm enjoyers at? It may not be the best farm but it's the most fun one.
I don't think honey is clear cut the best farm in the game. We have factor in the initial investment to set it up and we spend a good chunk of time collecting all the the silk from spiders, then netting all those bees and butterflies besides a few aditional resources.
They also don't produce anything during the winter. And the bees can be a bit annoying specially during the spring.
Overall, I'd say honey farm is a mostly mid to late game farm, with its strength being mostly the automation and long spoilage time.
Please make tutorial how to make the bee farm🥺
Wickerbottom + Wormwood = infinite food.
my ass olny had 5 bee boxes and like 40 honey in fridge easily
Banana shakes don't need honey. You can literally make the recipe with twigs lmao
I love learning new things :)
dont bees just fly over fences and walls? at least while they're aggroed or in spring? im not rly sure :)
Thanks! I gonna try the honey farm.
Nothing really beats kelp farm. Just run up hold space and you are done farming filler/vegies for best healing in the game pierogi. Just get meat from somewhere. Also with bee farm you need to feed flingo which is annoying in summer.
Lardee if you have played Ds then i think we both know that a actually good farm is just 30 seeds very much manure and lile eight improved farms. Why is this good? Because you can fully grow a plant with just six or less manure plus if its raining plants will grow too
i thought you could do banana shakes with 2 banana and 2 twig, no need for honey?
Doesn’t produce in the winter though
in 9:02 you cant use fence because bees can go through it . and great video btw
you can use any kind of wall (including fence), you just need to leave an opening so their path-finding makes them lose aggro to you
and if there is no opening they would straight up go through any wall
@@a76329 good to know , thanks
meanwhile me eating any random shit I find:
Bee farms, unless late game, is just not very useful for me. I get enough filler by surviving, enough veggies through kelp, and enough meat through occasional kills and maybe doing some hunts every once in a while. Generally, I prefer a meat farm, as meat is just extremely versatile. Pig farms are my go to nowadays. But I’m more inclined to maybe build honey farm now.
Dude... why on Earth would you EVER use honey for banana shakes!? You can use 2 twigs instead of honey and it works just fine
Depends on how large your twig farm is, and how many other things you might be using twigs for. Twigs and honey are both good filler here, so it depends on context.
@milkforthekhorneflakes3581 you make 2 banana shakes, that's enough homey for a taffy which is another 15 free sanity
Or you take literally 45 seconds to gather 4 twigs 🤷🏻
Idk maybe I'm crazy
@MisterBones223 you can get 80 honey in 30 seconds, every in game day.
Unless you have a ton of winbots and twiggy trees, I think this method is far cheaper. Actually, how long does it take for twiggy trees to drop 2 twigs? Honey might still be cheaper.
Only downside is that this doesn't work in winter.
@DevilJhoMama Absolutely not worth it to use honey
Instead of using the honey for healing, sanity, or hunger on top of the banana shakes, you're deciding to waste them Instead of using twigs? Twigs are incredibly useful early to mid-game, but by the end of year one you should be swimming in twigs. Before day 10 you should've found the lunar island, gathered stonefruit bushes, kelp bulbs, and TONS of lunar saplings.
@MisterBones223 I never trust the people that say things like "before day x, you should've done x". There are a lot of things to prioritise, in the early game, and the lunar island is pretty low on my priority list. There is moon-quay island for wicker, farms for Warly, Archives for Wanda etc. Not even mentioning rushing the ruins.
And even with the lunar saplings, honey is still faster to gather en masse than twigs. 30 seconds nets 80 honey every single in game day. You can't match that without an absurd amount of winbots and upgraded chests, not to mention how much space that would likely take up.
Your entire argument relies on 3 key factors:
1. Honey is valuable, and isn't worth throwing away.
This first point only works if you don't have this honey farm set up. You will easily have far more honey than you know what to do with, and lots of it will even rot assuming you're not just harvesting whenever you run out.
2. Twigs are easier to gather en masse than honey.
Again, this is true if you don't have this honey farm set up, as winbots can be made fairly early into a world, and will passively stack twigs for you. However, any twig farm will still be outclassed by this honey farm, as far as I'm aware.
3. Honey provides more value if made into taffy, or eaten raw alongside meals, instead of being used as filler.
This point is so silly I don't even really know how to address it. If you're making banana shakes for sanity, then you're not making taffy, simple as. Banana shakes are just better. The 80 honey is already good enough to last you 10 days food wise, you'll only need to make crock pot meals for health or sanity. You can't save it indefinitely either, it has a (quite generous) spoil timer.
There is no reason to use twigs over honey unless the twigs are easier to get, which they aren't if you have this farm.
Unless there is a twig farm that can make 80 twigs in 30 seconds, or can make more than 200 twigs per day.
I'm not arguing that using twigs is wasteful, I'm arguing that with this farm set up, using honey is less wasteful.
tldr: Honey is easier to obtain en masse than twigs, and saving it to eat raw when you could use twigs makes no sense. If for some reason using 2 out of your 80 daily honey is enough to cause you to starve, you can get more honey the very next day.
Ok youtube, i'll watch it
great as always, thanks
The fact that there are so many ways to obtain mass amounts of food really makes crop farming seem obsolete.
I have always disliked the farm plots that were added since it nerfed bunnyman drops and wickers OG books just to appeal to newer players.
winter?
