By David Smith In “Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar,” honey is a valuable resource. You can obtain it by placing beehives on your farm. Make sure to plant flowers nearby to attract bees. Over time, the beehives will produce honey for you to collect. Enjoy using honey in recipes and for selling!
Gathering ingredients for cooking in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is super important—almost as crucial as your crops and animals! One item you might find tricky to snag is honey. Don’t worry, though; I’ve got the scoop on how to get it easily and even some cool tricks to level up your game!
How to Score Honey in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar
First up, you’ll want to complete the “Prepping for Some Heavy Lifting” quest. This quest helps you unlock beekeeping, and it’s not hard at all. Just bring these two meals to Arata while he’s working out in the mountains:
- 1 x Egg Over Rice
- 1 x Grilled Fish
Once you’ve done that, Arata will set up his stall at the bazaar the following week. Chat with him, and you can buy a Beekeeping House for 10,000g. Place it in the top right corner of the mountains, where you’ll often see Honey, one of the nature sprites.
Next, remember to plant flowers around your Beekeeping House! They’re crucial because they trigger the honey-making process. Once your flowers are blooming, check out the hive. If it’s shiny, you’ll find a honeycomb ready to be harvested!
Different Types of Honey
The type of flowers you plant will affect the kind of honeycomb you get. Here are the options:
- Normal Honeycomb
- Mellow Honeycomb
- Royal Honeycomb
- Invigorating Honeycomb
You can’t cook with honeycomb right away, though! Take it to the blue windmill to the right of Zephyr Town to process it into honey.
Special Honey Day
Mark your calendar! On Spring 21, you can buy honey from Café Madeline—this is the only day you’ll find it for sale, so don’t miss out! The mayor might even give you some honey and a recipe for honey cake during your first year. Just keep in mind that one day a year is not enough for all your baking needs. The sooner you start your hive, the better!
Pro Tips and Tricks
- Optimize Your Flowers: Choose a mix of flowers to get different honey types; for example, plant both wildflowers and sunflowers for variety.
- Watch the Weather: Certain flowers grow better in specific seasons, so plan ahead to maximize your honey output.
With these tips, you’ll be on your way to having enough honey for all your cooking adventures in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar! Who said farming can’t be fun and rewarding? Get out there and start your honey empire!
