			[[File:Honey block collision comparison.png\|thumb\|The collision box of a honey block compared to a slime block]]
			Honey blocks are not full [[Minecraft:block]]s: despite taking up 16{{^\|3}} pixels visually, their [[Minecraft:collision box]] is only 14 pixels wide and 15 pixels high, with the bottom face aligned to the block grid. Small [[Minecraft:entities]] such as [[Minecraft:arrow]]s are free to move through the gap between honey blocks as they are under 2 pixels wide.

	Unlike [[Minecraft:slime block]]s, honey blocks {{in\|java}} are non-[[Minecraft:conductive]] and cannot have a [[Minecraft:redstone]] signal sent through them (including via a [[Minecraft:repeater]] or an [[Minecraft:observer]], etc). {{IN\|bedrock}}, honey blocks are conductive, though mobs and players will not suffocate while they are inside of it.

	* Honey blocks are not full [[Minecraft:block]]s: despite taking up 16{{^\|3}} pixels, the collision box is only 14×14×15 pixels.
	** The bottom face of a honey block is the same depth as a full block, though it is only 14×14 pixels.
	** Small [[Minecraft:entities]] such as [[Minecraft:arrow]]s are free to move through the gap between honey blocks as they are under 2 pixels wide.
	** Only when entities are partially "in" a honey block (i.e., they are touching the 14{{^\|3}}-pixel hitbox) can they slide down against it.
	* In real life, bees eat honey when the temperature is low and flowers are difficult to find. Otherwise, pollen and nectar are their primary food sources.
	* The bottom surface of a honey block does not slow down entities.
	* It takes 1 minute and 14 seconds to slide down 256 honey blocks.		* It takes 1 minute and 14 seconds to slide down 256 honey blocks.

	=== Falling ===		=== Falling ===
	As with [[Minecraft:hay bale]]s, falling onto a honey block reduces fall damage by 80%. For example, if a [[Minecraft:player]] or mob falls from a height that would normally cause {{hp\|10}} fall damage, the fall causes {{hp\|2}} damage instead.

	~~=== Bees ===~~
	When a honey block is near [[Minecraft:bee]]s and a [[Minecraft:beehive]] or [[Minecraft:bee nest]], bees occasionally fly close and attach to it for a few seconds, resembling an action of eating honey. When doing this, the bee stops fluttering its wings, and firmly attaches its face to the honey block regardless of whether flowers are nearby.

	Honey blocks are not pulled by a non-sticky piston, nor are they moved if an adjacent (non-honey) block is moved by a piston.		Honey blocks are not pulled by a non-sticky piston, nor are they moved if an adjacent (non-honey) block is moved by a piston.

	The maximum of 12 blocks moved by a piston still applies. For example, a 2×2×3 of honey blocks may be pushed or pulled by a sticky piston as long as no other movable blocks are adjacent to it. ~~However, the platform~~ in which a honey block ~~shifts is entirely dependent~~ on the placement of the sticky piston, as well as ~~placement~~ of blocks ~~too~~.		The maximum of 12 blocks moved by a piston still applies. For example, a 2×2×3 of honey blocks may be pushed or pulled by a sticky piston as long as no other movable blocks are adjacent to it. The direction in which a honey block moves depends on the placement and orientation of the [[Minecraft:sticky piston]], as well as the positions of the surrounding blocks.
