When jellybeans were first released, I thought they were too strong because they gave so much health over time for such a long time, the bee queen was much easier to kill and you get between 6 and 7 royal jelly, making that 18-21 jellybeans for each bee queen kill.
Right now though they give 2 health every 2 seconds for 2 minutes, making that 120 health total. The health over time barely helps and the total health is the same as 4 honey poultices or 6 healing salves, which are easier to make since they are not locked behind a boss kill (and I'd even argue she's the hardest boss right now).
This is what I propose: make jellybeans give as much health over time as they did at first (5 health every 2 seconds, if I remember correctly), but make the effect last only 1 minute, bringing the total health to 150 (which is close enough to the 120 total health we have right now). Not only that, the crock pot recipe for jellybeans could require only specific ingredients, making it more interesting and harder to make. For example, it could require 1 royal jelly + 1 cave banana + 1 pomegranate + 1 blue mushroom, giving an use to 2 "useless" items (bananas and pomegranate).
