I’m loving the new update, the bees are so cool. I’ve already scouted them out in my existing realm, 10k blocks from home haha.
Honey blocks will be great fun for my redstone builds (though I’d love to be able to cook with honey), but I was disappointed to find that honeycomb is mostly useless (with the notable exception of building more hives). Why not give us some things to craft with it?
The first thing that comes to mind is candles! It would be a great light source to give some more diversity to interior design. A simple crafting recipe of one honeycomb and one string should suffice to make a beeswax candle.
Such an item could be a simple as a reskin of a torch and I’d be happy. Or of course, if you wanted to be more creative, candles could burn out over time (could use mechanics similar to furnaces and brewing stands for calculating burn time before being used up). They could also potentially be “put out” by water or a tool and “relit” with a flint and steel, like campfires. I think it would be a great addition and really flesh out the usefulness of the update.
(I can think of other potential use for wax as well—maybe waterproof redstone?—but that’s for another time.)

I really like the idea of Candles to expand upon our range of light sources in the game. The addition of an item like Beeswax as a byproduct of Bee Nests and Hives could also open up several more possibilities.

Hey guys I'm James, I used to be a noob but now I'm not, I finally figured out how to use TextCraft so here's a banner for one of my suggestions.
Good idea! So.. you would turn the honeycomb into beeswax, then into candles, but what if instead you could craft beeswax and torches into waterproof torches (like waxed matches or something)?
That would be a cool option also could be a potential for a chandelier recipe like four candles and two iron, gold, or diamond to get different colors.
This is actually a good suggestion because it's unique, making candles out of honeycomb actually sounds like a very vanilla thing.
I think the candles should come in holders.
OKAY, here's my advice to you, suggest this on the official suggestions page for minecraft, because the Minecraft forum is obsolete; No Devs ever visit this website, let alone the suggestions page.
I'd love to see candles as well as a lighting overhaul, including coloured lighting, warm and cold lighting etc.

We already have lanterns, jack-o-lanterns and glowstone for underwater lighting, do we need more?

Where might I find the official suggestions page? I didn’t know this forum wasn’t the place.

Really, no one else wants candles?

Sounds good for building.

More light blocks!! It would be really cool to be able to dye them -> colored lighting

Just testing.
