Bee nest

Bee nests are blocks that house bees.

Obtaining
Bee nests can be mined with any tool, but it will only drop if mined with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. They can break faster with an axe. If there are bees associated with a bee nest block, the bees will become hostile to the player who breaks the block.

Natural generation
Bee nests generate naturally on trees in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes.

Saplings
Bee nests have a chance of generating on the trunk of a tree when a sapling grows in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes.

Bee housing
The hives can house up to 3 bees at a time. Bees will fly into the nest at night, during rain and after pollinating to work.

Harvesting
Pollinated bees will fly into bee nests and start working for a while. When done, they will exit the hive, increasing the honey level by 1. When the honey level has reached 5, the blocks appearance will change to be full of honey, and will produce dripping honey particles if suspended above the ground. If shears are on a full bee hive, it will drop three honeycombs. If an empty glass bottle is used on a full bee hive, it will fill the bottle with honey, giving a honey bottle. Any bees inside the hive when harvesting will become aggravated towards the player. If there is a lit campfire directly underneath the hive, the bees inside will not become aggravated when harvesting it.

Block entity
A bee nest has a block entity associated with that holds additional data about it.
