First, you’ll need a Sweep Net to catch bees, which can be crafted using the Research Table. It will require the following materials:

  • 15 Planks
  • 6 Ropes
  • 2 Vine Goo
  • 1 Bolt

After you’ve crafted this tool, you’ll then be able to catch Bee Swarms. It’s important to note that the Sweep net only has a durability of 25 and will decrease every time you use it.

Now you’ll need to catch Bee Swarms which can be found on the following island:

  • Balboa Island
  • Evergreen Islands
  • Caravan Town
  • Desert Islands

Just walk up to the Bee Swarms and use the net to capture them. They will follow a set path, so be sure to study where the best spot to catch them will be. This can take varying amounts of time, depending on how complex the route is.
