SO more of an observation, but I have noticed a major increase in Honey Gather ability when standing in Flower Grass. Like, every time I leave a battle my Combee is holding a Honey.
Its much less frequent outside of flowery grass. It would make sense in the context of the ability, pretty neat little mechanic probably no one will notice, but maybe one more reason to use a Shiny male Combee for swarms and honey.
