Definition
酿蜜 is a verb-object compound literally meaning 'to brew honey' — it describes bees producing honey from nectar. Since it's a separable verb (离合词), you can insert a quantifier or aspect marker between the syllables when needed, e.g. 酿了蜜 ('produced honey'). The object of the action is part of the word itself, so you don't add an object after it.
v.o.
