Completing the “Honey, Bee Mine” quest is a condition for unlocking every Great Fairy in the game, so it’s worth doing.

  1. Speak to Beetz in his tent southeast of Kakariko Village at the coordinates 2166, -1384, 0108.
  2. He’ll ask you to get three combs of Courser Bee Honey from the hives near the Kakariko Village chasm. It’s actually called the East Hill Chasm, and it’s northeast of Kakariko Village, at the coordinates 1983, -0859, 0151.
  3. The hives are hanging from some of the trees all around that area. Shoot the hives with an arrow, then collect the result combs.
  4. Once you have three, go back to Beetz and give them to him to complete the quest and get a Silver Rupee.
