Once full, bee nests and beehives provide two harvestable products: honey and honeycomb.Įach time a bee enters a nest or hive covered in pollen, it starts converting it to honey and honeycomb. Igniting a nest or hive allows any bees inside to escape, possibly catching fire as they flee.īees are protected from a campfire by placing a carpet over it.‌

They first look for one at the same coordinates as the last one they entered, but if there's no nest or hive there or it already contains 3 bees when they arrive, they search the nearby area for another one. They can enter through any unobstructed side, top, or bottom, but can exit only from the front, and only if it's unobstructed by a solid block (including a non-full solid block in Bedrock Edition).īees fly into a nest or hive at night, during rain, and after loading up with pollen from a flower. This holds true in any biome in any dimension, and for any flower including wither roses and flowering azaleas.īee nests and beehives can house up to 3 bees at a time. Oak, birch, or mangrove trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks (including diagonally) of a flower on the same y-level have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest containing 1–3 bees. Bee nests occur naturally and cannot be crafted. Beehives can be crafted in a crafting table.
