Minecraft:Bee Nest

Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Bee nests are Minecraft:blocks found attached to certain trees. They house bees, which fill their homes with honey made from gathered Minecraft:flower nectar. Full bee nests can be harvested for Minecraft:honeycombs (using Minecraft:shears) or honey bottles (using glass bottles). Bees will attack players who harvest or break their homes without utilizing Minecraft:campfires or Minecraft:Silk Touch, respectively.

Obtaining

Breaking

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Bee nests can be broken by any Minecraft:tool or by the player's fist, though they break faster with an Minecraft:axe.

If a bee nest is broken with a tool not enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, it drops nothing and any bees inside emerge angry at the player, attempting to sting them, which causes Poison on success. Nearby bees will also become angry and attack. If a Silk Touch tool is used, the bee nest drops itself and any bees inside remain inside, and any bees nearby do not become angry.

If broken in Creative mode with bees inside, the bee nest drops itself and bees inside remain inside.

Natural generation

A naturally generated bee nest in a village in a Superflat world.

Naturally generated bee nests generate with 2-3 bees in them, and always face south.

Bee nests generate in the following biomes with different chances:

Biome	Chance<ref group="note">The chance for each naturally-generated oak, birch, mangrove tree, or cherry tree to have a bee nest.</ref>

Post-generation

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from Minecraft:saplings that are within 2 blocks (including diagonally) of a Minecraft:flower on the same Y-level have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest containing 2–3 bees. This holds true in any biome in any dimension, and for any flower including wither roses and flowering azaleas.

Mangroves grown from mangrove propagules have a 1% chance of having a bee nest containing 2-3 bees. Unlike birch, cherry, and oak trees, no flowers are required for a bee nest to generate.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

In Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, oak trees grown in plains have a chance to grow with a bee nest regardless of the quantity of flowers nearby. It is not known if this behavior is intended.
