When the nest is full of honey, you can harvest it with shears which you can craft with two iron ingots, or you can craft and use glass bottles to get the honey. If you use bottles, you can then use the bottled honey you get to craft sugar by placing it anywhere in a crafting table.

However, you should note that doing either will anger the bees and cause them to attack you. You can circumvent this by having a campfire lit under the hive, which will prevent bees from attacking you.
