(WILD HONEY GATHERING MADE EASY)
If you have a hive located directly next to a easily accessible/escapable water source , no piranhas preferably.
Here's how to get honey without taming.
Climb/walk up to hive , grab honey , drop/jump directly into water,
Swim about 2 to 4 Boulder lengths away (Underwater) drones can't attack and will retreat back to hive . Rinse&Repeat
Do this as many times as you need honey !!!
After you tame it you can obtain bee hive and you can place it anywhere. If you put rare flowers in its inventory it will start making honey. But remember, even when you get the beehive the bees will still attack you when you access its inventory if you don't have full ghillie armor.
