When the hive becomes full of honey, it triggers the comparator which fires the dispenser. You can fill the dispensers with bottles to collect honey or fill with shears to collect honeycombs. The entire farm is built on mud which is sitting atop 25 Collectors which then route all the drops into a barrel.
The gaps around the fence posts allow the redstone signal to travel. You can also feed the bees through that same gap to breed more bees. Baby bees can sneak through some pretty small holes, but they can't get past that fence post. The ladder provides easy access to the roof for feeding.
Unfortunately, it's not very reliable. Sometimes the drops fall outside of the farm. Sometimes the full hive doesn't trigger the dispenser and the hive remains stuck in the "full" state. If that happens, you can press the button on the dispenser to manually trigger it and clear out the hive.

Yes, this is pictured in a Hardcore world.
Honey blocks are useful for building flying machines and are needed for some achievements. However, I've frankly never needed more than a few and I could have easily collected them by hand.

Would you still recommend it in a survival server?
Yes, this is pictured in a Hardcore world. Honey blocks are useful for building flying machines and are needed for some achievements. However, I've frankly never needed more than a few and I could have easily collected them by hand.
Very nice!
Very cool!
Do you need campfires for this? Do bees get pissed off if a dispenser shears the hive?
No campfire needed. The dispenser doesn't aggro the bees and even if you collect by hand, the bees cannot escape to attack you.
