Standing to left of the house, in amoungest the "Bee Hives" theres a bath, below the bath is a table and on the table are two "empty" honey jars...
Drag jars onto honey.. to get honey pots. Btw those are about the ONLY empty honey jars in the whole game...
The honey jars used to be automatically picked up on earlier versions now you have to drag them into inventory...which is a pain. And same goes for making potions drag the pots onto the mushrooms, flowers, cacti etc... Common sence would suggest having empty pots in your pack and just clicking on the mushroom to fill it, possibly with a popup affirm incase of accidental clicking..(something which could be switched off in options) but this would require thought to instigate so its easier to just force the player to do everything the hard way...
They should have included a little pair of cutters and a spade for digging up the mushrooms and a wash bowl for cleaning them, maybe a mortor and pestle for crushing up the mushrooms and...hehe could go on forever with details...
