the wilderness
That is, “the desert” or, “a remote, desert-like place.” There were few people living out in this area.
wild honey
This honey was the natural product of bees in the wilderness; it was not cultivated by people. If that is what people would understand by the word “honey,” you may not need to call it “wild.”
locusts
These were large, hopping insects with wings, like very large grasshoppers. Some people who live in the desert eat them.
clothes made from camel hair
That is, “coarse clothes made of camel hair.” These clothes would not quickly wear out in the wilderness as other clothes would.
camel hair
A camel is an animal that has very rough hair. People could make clothing out of it. This could be translated as “rough animal hair.”
