Bee hives are crafted versions of bee nests.

bee nests are naturally spawned blocks that house bees.

Obtaining

Bee and bee nest

A bee flying next to a bee nest.

Hives can be mined by any tool or by the player's fist, though they break faster with an axe. Bee nests will not drop anything unless mined with Silk Touch, but hives will drop empty if broken without Silk Touch. If broken with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, the bees will remain inside. Otherwise, they will come out of the hive and swarm the player unless a campfire is underneath it.

Natural generation

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

Growing saplings

Bee nests have a 10% chance of generating on the trunk of an oak tree when a sapling grows into a tree in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes.

Usage

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 hives 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 block's appearance will change to be full of honey, and will produce dripping honey particles if suspended above the ground. If shears are used 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.

Trivia

The terminology of a bee hive being a man-made enclosure for bees is correct, as opposed to a naturally occurring one.[1]
