The workstation that produces honey using bees isn't attainable enough to be of any use at pretty much any stage of the game. By the time you get enough Beeswax to craft the apiary you already have tons of antibiotics to where infections aren't an issue. This workstation doesn't seem to have any purpose the way this game is designed. Similar to the Dew station. There is no reason to go out of the way to craft it. There is some food with honey ingredients that fight infection but again, in the later stages infection pills are plentiful.
I think the recipes that use honey should give a stronger boost to stats other than fighting infections. Maybe we could have a new medicine that uses honey which provides a unique boost to our character. As it stands, honey is only helpful extremely early around days 1-3. We could use some mid to late game honey crafts.
