Blocks

 * Bee nests
 * Spawns naturally in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes.
 * Can house both bees and honey:
 * If the player breaks the block while there are bees in it, the bees will turn hostile on the player.
 * Exception is if there is a lit campfire below the bee nest.
 * The amount of honey in the bee nest increases as bees complete their journey and successfully return to the nest.
 * The player can harvest honeycombs and honey bottles from bee nests.
 * Is a block entity and cannot be pushed by pistons.
 * Bee hives
 * Can be crafted using 6 planks and 3 honeycombs.
 * Functions similarly to bee nests.


 * Wax Blocks
 * Unobtainable but can be found in folder.

Items

 * Honey Bottle
 * Restores and 9.6 saturation.
 * Can be used to craft sugar.


 * Honeycombs
 * Obtained by using shears on bee hives with set to 5.


 * Crystallized Honey
 * Unobtainable but can be found in folder.


 * Spawn Eggs
 * Added bee spawn egg.

Mobs

 * Bees
 * Have health.
 * Live in groups near hives and nests.
 * If a bee doesn't have a home nest, it will wander until it finds one.
 * Can hide inside hive.
 * Maximum of 3 bees per nest.
 * When attacked, all bees from the same hive try to attack the original attacker.
 * The same happens when their hive/nest is destroyed.
 * Placing a campfire under the nest will make the bees passive.
 * They have an data tag, defaults to zero, when attacked is set to around 700 ticks.
 * When they attack, they give poison to the target for 10 seconds and then they die 50–60 seconds after attack.
 * When bees attack the player, their eyes will turn red.
 * Can be bred using any type of flower, including wither roses.
 * They will follow any player holding a flower like other mobs, but if the player holds still the bees will land around them.
 * Can land on flowers, and will enter a "pollinated" state where pale white particles will appear on them, and small particle effects of the same color will come off them.
 * Bees will try to pollinate wither roses despite the fact that they are harmed by the wither effect they give.
 * When they pollinate flowers a small popping noise is heard.
 * Will return to their nest after entering the "pollinated" state.
 * A pollinated bee can accelerate the growth of crops it passes.
 * After enough bees enter a bee nest in the pollinated state, the bee nest will be filled with honey.
 * Being killed by a bee sting results in new death message: " was stung to death".
