This idea is to add to the game as many varieties of honey as there are flowers.

When a bee pollinates a flower, then returns to it’s nest or hive, then leaves, it stores in it’s home honey of the same variety as the flower it visited.

If all 5 units of honey in a nest came from the same flower type, then using a bottle on the nest or hive will not producing generic honey, it produces flower specific honey, such as dandelion honey or poppy honey or pitcher plant honey, etc.

Each bottle of floral honey has the same color as the dye which would be produced by crafting the flower.

A single floral honey bottles can be crafted into a dye, with the bottle left in the crafting grid as a side product.

Floral honey is a food, and when drunk, it doesn’t just provide hunger and saturation, but also acts as a cure for whichever magic effect is produced by the suspicious stew crafted from the flower.

That is, drinking Allium Honey cures Fire Resistance, drinking Azure Bluette Honey cures Blindness, drinking Dandelion Honey cures Saturation, drinking Tulip Honey cures Weakness, etc.

A bottle of floral honey can be brewed with gunpowder or dragons breath to make a splash or lingering cure for the same magic effect which drinking the floral honey would cure.

For fighting the Wither boss, a Splash Bottle of Wither Rose Honey is better than a Bucket of Milk, since it will only cure the Wither effect and works almost instantly.

Four floral honey bottles of the same variety as each other can be crafted into blocks of floral honey, with the empty bottles left in the crafting grid as side products.

Just as slime blocks and generic honey blocks do not stick to one another when moved by pistons and sticky pistons no two varieties of floral honey stick to each other when moved, nor do they stick to slime blocks or generic honey blocks.

Torchflower honey blocks and Pitcher Plant honey blocks have an additional special property when moved by pistons or sticky pistons: When any block is dragged along by them, that other block’s pending scheduled updates are canceled at the old location it was dragged from, and rescheduled at the new location.

This would allow Torchflower honey and Pitcher Plant honey to be used to move redstone wire, redstone torches, repeaters, comparators, buttons, etc, without the redstone components malfunctioning.

Dandelion Honeycomb, Tulip Honeycomb, etc, would be obtainable by using shears on a beehive or bee nest with 5 units of pollen from matching flower types.

Floral Honeycombs are craftable into floral honeycomb blocks, beehives, already dyed candles, and various waxed copper blocks. They can also be smelted into the same type of dye that their respective flower can be crafted into.

Generic honey and generic honeycombs are still in the game, they are created if bees store pollen from two or more varieties of flowers.
