A couple of months back, we featured the Honey Block in our Block of the Week series, and so now it’s time to feature its... er... bottlier cousin, the honey bottle.
Honey bottles, like honey blocks, were added to Minecraft in version 1.15 – the Buzzy Bees update. As the name suggests, they’re obtainable from bees – specifically, by hitting the use key on a beehive or bee nest while holding a glass bottle.
But hold up. You can’t just start merrily hitting use on every beehive you see. That approach will get you (a) not much honey and (b) stung. Instead, I recommend using a more cautious method.
Approach the hive or bee nest slowly and inspect it from a distance. Is there honey dripping out of the sides? If so, that’s a good sign that there’ll be something to collect. Then, make yourself a campfire and carefully place it under the hive so that the smoke billows upward into the block.
Smoke calms bees, y’see, which means that they’ll be less upset that you’re stealing all their honey. Once the nest is pacified, a gentle click with your glass bottle will yield you a full bottle of honey. Remove the campfire, and your quest is complete.
Now, what are you going to do with that bottle? Well, I highly recommend drinking it. In fact, it’s the only food in the game that comes in a bottle. It’ll restore three chunks of hunger and remove any poison that’s afflicting you. That puts honey a step up from drinking a bucket of milk – which removes all potion effects, positive or negative. Though it does take a little longer.
Other things you can do with honey include crafting blocks of honey (which, as we’ve already established, are pretty neat) with four bottles arranged in a square in a crafting grid. You can also make sugar – one bottle of honey in a crafting grid all on its lonesome will give you three piles of sugar. Sweet.
There’s some real-world truth to the idea of honey curing poison. For millennia, honey has been used to treat all kinds of different ailments – from burns to ulcers to stomach problems. It’s a part of both ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, though Western medicine has not yet found strong evidence of its effectiveness beyond dressing small wounds.
There’s also some truth to the idea that you should set a campfire under a hive before trying to harvest from it. Humans have known since ancient times that smoke calms bees, but the exact mechanism was unknown until much more recently. Put simply, the smoke masks the chemicals that bees use to communicate – interrupting their defensive response and allowing the beekeeper to open the hive with less fear of attack.
Finally, in the honey block article I promised you a disgusting story about how honey is made, so here it is. You probably know that bees like flowers, and that’s because their nectar contains sugar. Some of the bees in the hive – known as forager bees – find flowers, crawl over them, suck the nectar up through a special tube, and put it in their honey stomach – which is different to their food stomach. It takes a forager bee more than an hour, visiting more than a thousand flowers, before that stomach is full.
Here’s where it gets icky. The forager bees then fly back to the hive, and spew it up into the mouths of hive bees who stay at home. The hive bees then eat and spew up the honey into the mouth of the next hive bee along, and the next bee along, and so on in long chains. There are tens of thousands of these bees in each hive. During this process, the water in the nectar dries up and the fluid gets thicker and thicker. Eventually the chain reaches a honeycomb, where it gets spewed into a cell.
But the process doesn’t end there. Bees generate a lot of body heat, and they keep the cells at a temperature of about 35C (95F), flapping their wings to circulate the air to evaporate more water, until it’s dry enough to keep the resulting fluid from going bad. Finally, the bees cap the cells with wax to seal them. Eventually a beekeeper comes along and harvests the resulting product, which millions of children all over the world then spread on toast.
So next time you’re contemplating a squirt of honey on your breakfast, maybe have a little think about how many bee stomachs that it might have passed through on its way to your plate. Yuck.

A couple of months back, we featured the Honey Block in our Block of the Week series, and so now it’s time to feature its... er... bottlier cousin, the honey bottle.
几个月前，我们在“每周方块”系列中推出了蜂蜜块。那么现在，是时候推出它的……呃……瓶装的表弟，蜂蜜瓶了。
Honey bottles, like honey blocks, were added to Minecraft in version 1.15 – the Buzzy Bees update. As the name suggests, they’re obtainable from bees – specifically, by hitting the use key on a beehive or bee nest while holding a glass bottle.
蜂蜜瓶，和蜂蜜块一样，在Minecraft 1.15版本中添加到养蜂人更新里。顾名思义，它们可以在蜜蜂那里获得——具体地说，就是拿着一个玻璃瓶，对着蜂巢或者蜂箱按下右键。
But hold up. You can’t just start merrily hitting use on every beehive you see. That approach will get you (a) not much honey and (b) stung. Instead, I recommend using a more cautious method.
俗话说得好，三思而后行，这里也一样，你最好不要看到一个蜂巢就兴高采烈地拿着瓶子想去灌满。因为采取这种方法的话，你既不会收获到很多的蜂蜜，又会被愤怒的蜜蜂们蛰。因此，我建议你使用一个更谨慎些的方法。
Approach the hive or bee nest slowly and inspect it from a distance. Is there honey dripping out of the sides? If so, that’s a good sign that there’ll be something to collect. Then, make yourself a campfire and carefully place it under the hive so that the smoke billows upward into the block.
你可以先蹑手蹑脚地接近蜂巢，保持一定距离，从远处观察。嘘——能看到蜂巢的孔里面有黄澄澄的蜂蜜流出来吗？如果能的话，恭喜你，它里面有东西可以收集了。然后，你只需要再做一个营火，小心翼翼的把它放在蜂巢下面，这样，它燃烧发出的烟雾就会缓缓向上，进入蜂巢。
Smoke calms bees, y’see, which means that they’ll be less upset that you’re stealing all their honey. Once the nest is pacified, a gentle click with your glass bottle will yield you a full bottle of honey. Remove the campfire, and your quest is complete.
烟雾能让蜜蜂变得平静。你看，这就意味着它们不会因为你偷走了它的蜂蜜而变得焦躁不安。一旦蜂巢里面没有动静了，这时候再轻轻拿着瓶子右键蜂巢，你就会得到一瓶蜂蜜。再把营火拿走，你的任务就完成了。
Now, what are you going to do with that bottle? Well, I highly recommend drinking it. In fact, it’s the only food in the game that comes in a bottle. It’ll restore three chunks of hunger and remove any poison that’s afflicting you. That puts honey a step up from drinking a bucket of milk – which removes all potion effects, positive or negative. Though it does take a little longer.
得到了蜂蜜之后，你想怎么用呢？唔，其实我强烈建议你喝掉它。实际上，这是游戏中唯一一种装在瓶子里的食物。它能够回复6点饱食度（3块鸡腿），并且能够清除掉能够使你生命值减少的中毒效果。这一点就使得蜂蜜比牛奶要更上一层楼——牛奶会消除掉所有效果，无论是正面还是负面。尽管食用蜂蜜花的时间会长些。
Other things you can do with honey include crafting blocks of honey (which, as we’ve already established, are pretty neat) with four bottles arranged in a square in a crafting grid. You can also make sugar – one bottle of honey in a crafting grid all on its lonesome will give you three piles of sugar. Sweet.
你也可以用蜂蜜来做其他事情——比如蜂蜜块。（就像我们之前确定的那样，这是十分整齐的。）你可以把四个蜂蜜瓶排列成一个小正方形来制作它。你也可以做糖——一瓶蜂蜜放在合成台的一个格子里，就可以做成三堆糖。甜的发齁。
There’s some real-world truth to the idea of honey curing poison. For millennia, honey has been used to treat all kinds of different ailments – from burns to ulcers to stomach problems. It’s a part of both ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, though Western medicine has not yet found strong evidence of its effectiveness beyond dressing small wounds.
其实，蜂蜜疗毒的方法是真实存在的。几千年来，蜂蜜被用来治疗各种各样的疾病——从灼伤，到溃疡，再到胃病。它是阿育吠陀疗法和传统中医疗法中的一部分，尽管西医疗法中还没有人找到强有力的证据来证明它除了包扎小伤口外，还有其他功效。
There’s also some truth to the idea that you should set a campfire under a hive before trying to harvest from it. Humans have known since ancient times that smoke calms bees, but the exact mechanism was unknown until much more recently. Put simply, the smoke masks the chemicals that bees use to communicate – interrupting their defensive response and allowing the beekeeper to open the hive with less fear of attack.
对于设置营火给蜜蜂熏烟使他们平静，然后才能灌到蜂蜜的这个方法，也是有一定事实依托的。很早的时候，人们就知道吸烟能够使蜜蜂平静下来，但是详细而确切的机制，最近才为人所知。简单来讲，烟雾掩盖了蜜蜂用来交流的化学物质，从而打断了它们的防御反应，这样，养蜂人们在打开蜂箱的时候才会不那么害怕攻击。

Finally, in the honey block article I promised you a disgusting story about how honey is made, so here it is. You probably know that bees like flowers, and that’s because their nectar contains sugar. Some of the bees in the hive – known as forager bees – find flowers, crawl over them, suck the nectar up through a special tube, and put it in their honey stomach – which is different to their food stomach. It takes a forager bee more than an hour, visiting more than a thousand flowers, before that stomach is full.
最后，在蜂蜜块的文章当中，我答应过你们，给你们讲一个恶心的故事——蜂蜜是如何制作的，在这里我兑现我的承诺。你可能知道一点——蜜蜂们十分喜欢花，那是因为花蜜中含有糖。蜂房中的一些蜜蜂——指“觅食蜜蜂”——找到花朵，爬到它们的身上，用一根特殊的管子把花蜜吸上来，储存进它们装蜂蜜的胃里——这个胃与他们储存食物的胃不同。而一只蜜蜂要花一个多小时，吸取一千多朵花的花蜜，才能填饱他的肚子——那个“蜂蜜胃”。
Here’s where it gets icky. The forager bees then fly back to the hive, and spew it up into the mouths of hive bees who stay at home. The hive bees then eat and spew up the honey into the mouth of the next hive bee along, and the next bee along, and so on in long chains. There are tens of thousands of these bees in each hive. During this process, the water in the nectar dries up and the fluid gets thicker and thicker. Eventually the chain reaches a honeycomb, where it gets spewed into a cell.
下面就开始变得重口了。在填饱了“蜂蜜胃”之后，觅食蜜蜂飞回蜂巢，把蜂蜜胃里的花蜜灌到留在蜂巢里的蜜蜂的嘴里。然后留在蜂巢里的蜜蜂吃掉蜂蜜，把蜂蜜灌到下一个蜜蜂的嘴里，以此类推。每个蜂巢中有成千上万只的蜜蜂，在这个过程中，花蜜中水分减少，逐渐变得越来越浓稠。最后，这个“产业链”到达蜂巢，随后被灌进蜂巢里的一个蜂房当中。
But the process doesn’t end there. Bees generate a lot of body heat, and they keep the cells at a temperature of about 35C (95F), flapping their wings to circulate the air to evaporate more water, until it’s dry enough to keep the resulting fluid from going bad. Finally, the bees cap the cells with wax to seal them. Eventually a beekeeper comes along and harvests the resulting product, which millions of children all over the world then spread on toast.
但是这个过程并没有就此结束。蜜蜂会产生大量的体温，这使得蜂房保持在35摄氏度（95华氏度）左右的温度，拍打翅膀，来使空气流动，蒸发更多的水分，直到空气变得十分干燥，以防止蜂蜜变质。然后，聪明的蜜蜂想到了用蜡质来封住蜂房，从而达到密封蜂蜜的效果。
最终，一个养蜂人出现了，收货了最终的产品。随后，全世界数以百万记的孩子们将它涂抹在自己的吐司面包上大快朵颐。
So next time you’re contemplating a squirt of honey on your breakfast, maybe have a little think about how many bee stomachs that it might have passed through on its way to your plate. Yuck.
所以当你下一次想着早餐时想要享用一点蜂蜜的时候，不妨再想一想，它在进入你的胃之前，先进入了多少个蜜蜂的胃。唔，想想就挺下饭的。
