Hitting or walking on a nest does not anger bees it must be destroyed to anger them. This behavior is distinct from that of the villagers, which follow their daily routine according to the time in the Overworld, regardless of which dimension they are in.Īll bees nearby are angered when an individual bee is attacked (unless the bee attacked is killed in one hit‌ ), honey or honeycombs are collected (unless a campfire is placed under the nest), or a beehive is destroyed. When the honey level of that hive reaches 5, the player can harvest it, which then sets it back to 0.īecause there is neither daylight cycle nor weather in the Nether and the End, bees work without resting in these dimensions. When a bee that has pollen enters and then leaves its nest or hive, the honey level of the nest/hive is increased by one. If a bee nest containing bees is harvested using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, the bees inside are kept, with their corresponding data, in the hive, and they can exit the hive again when it is placed. The bees that come out keep their data ( health, name, etc.).īreaking a nest or hive that contains bees releases all the bees. They stay in their nest or hive for at least 2400 game ticks (2 minutes) before coming back out. They return even when in biomes that don't rain like desert. One-way bee-gates can be made in this way.īees return to their nest when it rains or when it is night. Bees can enter a beehive from any side, but exit only from the front. Homeless bees wander around, searching for empty beehives. One bee nest/beehive can house up to 3 bees. A hive/nest must have 5 honey inside before a player can collect honeycombs or honey bottles.īees live together in colonies and take any bee nest or beehive that has enough space as its home. When the amount reaches 5, honey can be seen dripping from the bottom and front of the hive/nest. That increases the amount of honey in a hive/nest by 1. It takes about 2 minutes for the bee to do this. A bee can fertilize plants 10 times each time they have pollen, and there is a short wait time between pollinating each plant.Īfterward, the bee flies back into its hive/nest and makes honey. To pollinate a plant, the particles that drop must touch it directly. When one of these plants gets pollinated, it advances to another growth stage, similar to using bone meal. A bee carrying pollen changes its texture to include pollen spots on its back, and drops pollen particles to fertilize plants within three blocks of the bee.īees that have pollen pollinate wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroots, melon stems, pumpkin stems, berry bushes, and cave vines they fly over. Bees completely ignore flowers in flower pots.Īfter circling a flower or berry bush for about 30 seconds while making happy buzzing sounds, a bee collects pollen. They fly around their nests, and are attracted to flowers, sweet berry bushes,‌ flowering azalea, flowering azalea leaves and mangrove propagules. A bee does not fly through an open trap door or regular door on its own (a bee can be led through a door with a flower) but babies can fly through the gap above a fence gate in a 1×2 doorway.Ī bee nest must spawn within two blocks horizontally or vertically from any flowers for the bees inside to leave the nest.īees leave their nest one by one during the day. Bees can venture further away if necessary.Ī bee can fly horizontally and vertically upward through scaffolding but does not fly downward.

They can still attack while attached.īees usually venture up to 22 blocks from their beehive to find something they can pollinate or to attack someone. They also take damage when touching water.‌ īees can be attached to a lead, even when angered. Like other baby animals, killing a baby bee yields no experience.īees do not fly (like ghasts or the ender dragon), but instead hover a few blocks above the ground similar to bats and parrots.īees are considered arthropods and take increased damage from the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.

Upon breeding successfully, 1–7 is dropped. Upon death, adult bees drop 1–3 orbs when killed by a player or a tamed wolf. Oak and birch trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any flower have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest having 1–3 bees in it. Naturally-generated birch or oak trees have equal chances to generate with a bee nest, depending on the biome: Naturally generated bee nests generate with 3 bees in them.
