'''Beehives''' are [[Minecraft:craft]]able [[Minecraft:block]]s that house [[Minecraft:bee]]s, which fill their homes with honey made from gathered [[Minecraft:flower]] nectar. Full beehives can be harvested for [[Minecraft:honeycomb]]s (using [[Minecraft:shears]]) or [[Minecraft:honey bottle]]s (using [[Minecraft:glass bottle]]s). Bees will attack [[Minecraft:player]]s who harvest or break their homes without utilizing [[Minecraft:campfire]]s or [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], respectively.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
{{See also|Tutorial: Honey farming#Avoiding Bee Anger}}
Beehives can be broken by any [[Minecraft:tool]] or by the [[Minecraft:player]]'s fist, though they break faster with an [[Minecraft:axe]]. When mined, they always drop themselves.

If a beehive is broken with a tool not enchanted with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], any bees inside emerge, and together with nearby bees, become angry at the player. If a Silk Touch tool is used, any bees inside remain inside and any other bees nearby do not become angry.

If broken in [[Minecraft:Creative]] mode with bees inside, the beehive drops itself and bees inside remain inside.
