Stick to the path! Never leave the path for anything. Unfortunately, they failed to follow the advice and ended up in the Elf King's dungeons.

they warned them about food and water, and to stay on path
Do not, for any reason, leave the path!
"Stay on the path."
They did not take Gandalf's and Beorn's advice to STAY ON THE PATH while traveling through Mirkwood.
Lots of individuals gave Bilbo advice, Gandalf is most prevalent. Beorn as well. He is given small bits from others.
beorn is a skin changer meaning that he can change into a bear or a human or whatever he wants to. gandalf, bilbo, and the dwarves stop at beorns house to rest and get advice on going to mirkwood
He retains Beorn's interest by introducing a few dwarves at a time, while he is telling his story.
One dwarf was supposed to come along every five minutes, so Gandalf was stalling and creating a diversion.

Beorn had a few instructions for the party.Don't drink or bathe from the Mirkwood stream.Stay on the path.Return his ponies when they have made it through.
We know Bilbo, the hobbit, was well guided and well guarded on his way home because Gandalf, the wizard, accompanied Bilbo all the way home to his hobbit-hole, while Beorn, the shape-shifter, accompanied him just until they approached his house in Mirkwood. Also because Beorn gives very good advice about Mirkwood.
To a large rock, where they clearly see the Lonely Mountain Or in the Original book, they are taken to a rock; (Beorn calls this his Carrock), but it is near Beorn's house, which is west of mirkwood
Gandalf tells Beorn the story of the journey from the start to the point that takes them to Beorn's house. Beorn is intrigued and entertained and so, as the group are no threat to him, he allows them to to stay in his house for the night. While they sleep, Beorn travels to discover if the tale he has been told is true. It is and as they have killed the Great Goblin (Beorn hates goblins) he agrees to give the group supplies and ponies to take them to Mirkwood.
Never leave the path are his final words to them. Gandalf also echoed this directive. For most of the journey they do so, but lack of food causes them to forget this important direction.

Beorn?
Well. when Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, Oin, Glion, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur all came to Beorn's house after the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains dropped them off at the Carrock. They ask Beorn for help with food and transport and Beorn gives them horses and food for the journey through Mirkwood. Later, at the end of the book, Beorn reappears and helps with The Battle Of The Five Armies and kills Bolg, son of Azog, and scatters the bodyguards and then the whole Goblin/Warg army routs. after that he goes back to his halls and trains new Men/Bears and becomes chief of that area.
Beorn could change his form between human and bear.
Gandalf presents the dwarves in a staggered fashion while telling a story to keep Beorn's interest so he would not send them away.Gandalf wanted to keep Beorn fascinated in his story so he wouldn't notice the large number of dwarves Gandalf brought.
