Flower honey prices by season
These are sale prices per collected honey in unmodded Stardew Valley 1.6. A Bee House takes four nights to produce. The table covers every flower that gives its own honey type.
| Honey | Valley flower season | Normal sale | With Artisan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild | Spring–Fall, no flower required | 100g | 140g |
| Tulip | Spring | 160g | 224g |
| Blue Jazz | Spring | 200g | 280g |
| Summer Spangle | Summer | 280g | 392g |
| Poppy | Summer | 380g | 532g |
| Sunflower | Summer and Fall | 260g | 364g |
| Fairy Rose | Fall | 680g | 952g |
Blue Jazz has the highest Spring honey price, Poppy the highest Summer price, and Fairy Rose the highest Fall price. Fairy Rose takes 12 days to mature without growth boosts, so account for the early-season period before flower honey is available.
春季蓝爵士、夏季虞美人、秋季仙子玫瑰分别提供本季最高单件花蜜售价。仙子玫瑰无加速时需要12天成熟。先计算成熟日期,再安排蜂房收取。上表是每件销售收入,种子、蜂房材料及占地成本另计。

Bee House range and collection order
- Keep a mature, unharvested flower within five tiles of the Bee House. Count horizontal plus vertical distance. The diamond contains 60 surrounding tiles.
- One flower can serve several houses. Keep a walking route that lets you collect honey without accidentally picking the flower.
- The flower is checked when honey is collected. Collect the honey before harvesting the flower to retain the flower-honey price.
- Flowers need watering while growing. Once mature, leave them unpicked for the honey setup.
- A Bee House recipe unlocks at Farming level 3 and uses 40 Wood, 8 Coal, 1 Iron Bar and 1 Maple Syrup.
花蜜在收蜂蜜时判定。先收蜂蜜,再采花。留出取蜜通道,一朵花可以供给多个范围内的蜂房。花卉生长期仍需浇水。
Greenhouse and Ginger Island honey
Bee Houses produce outdoors in Spring, Summer and Fall in the valley. Indoor placement, including the Greenhouse, stops production. Outdoor Bee Houses on Ginger Island can produce year-round, and its year-round flower growing supports a permanent Fairy Rose setup. Flowers in Garden Pots work within range from version 1.6.6.
温室及其他室内蜂房无法生产蜂蜜。姜岛露天蜂房可以全年工作,仙子玫瑰也能全年生长。1.6.6及之后的版本支持范围内花盆中的花卉。
Honey versus Mead
A Keg turns any honey into normal-quality Mead in 600 machine-minutes, equivalent to ten daytime in-game hours. Overnight machine time follows its own conversion. That Mead sells for 300g, or 420g with Artisan. Honey variety has no effect on this output price.
| Input | Sell honey with Artisan | Normal Mead with Artisan | Change per item |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Honey | 140g | 420g | +280g |
| Blue Jazz Honey | 280g | 420g | +140g |
| Poppy Honey | 532g | 420g | −112g |
| Fairy Rose Honey | 952g | 420g | −532g |
For a batch of 30 collected Fairy Rose Honey with Artisan, direct sales bring 30 × 952 = 28,560g. Turning the same batch into normal Mead brings 12,600g before costs. Keep the Keg opportunity cost and any later Cask aging separate from this normal-quality comparison.
假设已经收集30件仙子玫瑰蜂蜜且拥有工匠职业,直接出售收入28,560g,全部加工成普通品质蜂蜜酒收入12,600g。这是同一批库存的销售比较,后续木桶陈酿、机器成本及其他可加工原料需要另行评估。

Should I sell honey or turn it into Mead?
