Blocks

 * Spawn Eggs

Mobs

 * Bees
 * Have health.
 * Live in groups near hives and nests.
 * Can hide inside hive.
 * When attacked, all bees from the same hive try to attack the original attacker (same happens when their hive/nest is destroyed).
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * When they pollinate flowers a small popping noise is heard.
 * Will return to their nest after entering the "pollinated" state.
 * After enough bees enter a bee nest in the pollinated state, the bee nest will be filled with honey which the player can gather by right-clicking with a glass bottle, however, any bees inside the nest when the player does this will emerge and enter an aggressive state.
 * Being killed by a bee sting results in new death message: " was stung to death".
