Mobs
- Have 10




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 Anger 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.
- Will try to pollinate wither roses despite the fact that they are harmed by the Wither effect they give.
