Medical Honey Bandage

A better bandage for groups that keep bees. It heals more than the cloth one, but every craft eats two jars of honey you could just as well eat.

Overview

In-game description

Heal yourself and others with this medical honey bandage. Left click heals you, right click heals others.

Reach for it wherever a plain bandage would do, after a fight or on a bleeding teammate, and get more health back from each one. It sits between the cloth bandage and the medical syringe: better than the first, still no stand-in for the second when someone is shooting at you. LMB heals you, RMB heals whoever you look at.

The bench is easy, Level 1 does it. The honey is the hard part, because each craft takes two jars of honey.

Get honeycomb from a wild hive or from your own beehive with a nucleus inside.
Cook the comb in a furnace; its own text says that guarantees honey.
Craft the bandages at a Level 1 workbench from the honey and a bit of cloth.

For a solo without bees the chain rarely pays, especially since a jar also fills you up and takes some radiation off. A group with a farm base and a few hives ends up with honey to spare, and then honey bandages push the cloth ones out of every kit.
