'''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.

=== Block data ===
A beehive has a [[Minecraft:block entity]] associated with it that holds additional data about the block.

{{el|java}}:
{{see also|Block entity format}}
<section begin="block data"/><div class="treeview">
*{{nbt|compound}} Block entity data
** {{nbt inherit/blockentity}}
** {{nbt|list|bees}}: Entities currently in the hive. Represents the {{DCL|minecraft:bees}} component.
*** {{nbt|compound}} An entity in the hive.
**** {{nbt|compound|entity_data}}: The NBT data of the entity in the hive. {{nbt|string|id}} is required.
***** {{nbt inherit/entity}}
**** {{nbt|int|min_ticks_in_hive}}: The minimum amount of time in ticks for this entity to stay in the {{{1|hive}}}.
**** {{nbt|int|ticks_in_hive}}: The amount of ticks the entity has stayed in the {{{1|hive}}}.
** {{nbt|int array|flower_pos}}: Stores the block location, as 3 integers, of the flower that the last bee to enter the hive pollenated. When a bee leaves the {{{1|hive}}} without its own saved {{cd|flower_pos}} tag, it has a 90% chance to use this {{{1|hive}}}'s flower position, creating a sort of gossip system for {{{1|hive}}}s.
