I dunno if this is even possible in minecraft, but I thought it would be fun if Honey was made into a craftable item and if you could set up "honey bee hives" by crafting them out of different materials. Then, lastly but probably most difficult, the honeybees themselves. Below I have my basic idea for these things...
Bee Hive
Bee Hives produce Honey and Wax, which can be used in custom potions (mead) and items (candle) which in turn can be used for roleplay and in game purposes. All non-wheat crops within 4 chunks of a bee hive drop double yields. They create random bee effects anywhere within 4 chunks of them (bee effects are stationary) and have a bee effect themselves. The more flowers or non-wheat crops that are around them the faster they produce honey comb (double for every 16 flowers/non-wheat crop, max of triple speed).

Honey Comb
Honey can be used to create custom potions like Mead, Heavy Mead, and named Brews. Mead has the effect of making one dizzy, but giving a strength boost. Heavy Mead makes one twice as dizzy, but gives a larger strength bonus. Named Brews make one dizzy but do not give a strength bonus (RP only). Honey can be found in Honey Comb
Wax
Wax can be used to create a few custom items. Candles, for example, which give brighter light than a torch but for a more limited area. Wax can be found in Honey Comb.
Candle
Candles produce twice the brightness of a torch but for half the area. They are crafted by placing 1 coal above 1 string above 1 wax. They can be placed on transparent blocks.
Mead has the same attributes as a Strength 2 Potion, but lasts twice as long and causes dizziness.
(In a Brewing Stand):

Mead has the same attributes as a Strength 2 Potion, but lasts three times as long and causes dizziness.
(In a Brewing Stand):
Named Brew
A Named Brew is a brew that, when produced, has a randomly generated name (ex: Essence of Burning Village). It gives no In-Game boosts, but does cause dizziness in the player for 30-120 seconds (random).
Bee Effect is the 'appearance' of bees. It takes on the same form as Mycelium or Bedrock, except yellow in color. Bee Hives have a bee effect and generate 2-6 random bee effects within 4 chunks of their location. Bee Effect can also spawn in any location that has a concentration of flowers greater than grass and is within 4 chunks of an Oak Tree (natural hive). If the tree is chopped down the effects with vanish, but can return if a different Oak Tree is nearby/planted.

I dunno, I just want to be able to get into a drunken brawl or something. I think this would be a fun plugin that could get more pvpers or just general players into roleplay, as they would allow people to get into legit drunken brawls where they have no idea what's going on and just hit stuff. It would also add the ability for taverns to actually sell drinks to other players, and for candles in libraries.

Honey Comb
Honey Comb is produced naturally by a Bee Hive. It can be harvested by right clicking the hive, which opens up a 3X3 inventory slot (same as Crafting Table). A total of 9 stacks of honeycomb can exist before a hive stops producing new honey.

Just to think about if this could even be possible with a plugin using re-textured blocks and renamed items. If not as a server-wide plugin, it would be cool to see a few bee hives outside, say, Havenreach or Regalia. Just for added roleplay
