Stuck on getting honeycomb in minecraft

The campfire has to be lit, people put one down unlit and wonder why the bees still kill them. Also, use your first few comb on a beehive (planks plus comb) and you can stop hunting wild nests altogether. If you want to move the original nest with the bees still inside, break it with a silk touch tool.

put a campfire under the nest before you go near it with shears. skip that and every bee in there comes out at you. the nest also has to be full - honey dripping down the side is the sign. shears give you 3 comb, a bottle gives you honey instead. if you want it hands off, point a dispenser with shears in it at the nest and hit it with redstone.
