File:Bee JE1.gif Minecraft:Bees

• Have Template:Hp health.
• Live in groups near hives and nests.
  • If a bee does not have a home nest, it wanders until it finds one.
  • Can hide inside hives.
    • Maximum of 3 bees per nest.
• When attacked, all bees from the same hive try to attack the original attacker.
  • The same happens when their hive/nest is destroyed.
    • Placing a Minecraft:campfire under the nest makes the bees passive.
  • Have an Template:Nbt data tag, which defaults to zero.
    • When the bee is attacked, this tag is set to around 700 ticks.
  • When they attack, they give Minecraft:Poison to the target for 10 seconds and then they die 50–60 seconds after attacking.
  • When bees attack the player, their eyes turn red.
• Can be bred using any type of Minecraft:flower, including wither roses.
  • They follow any player holding a small flower.
    • If the player holds still, the bees land around them.
• Hover around flowers and enter a "pollinated" state after some time. When pollinated, pale white particles come off them. The bee also has its texture changed to include dots similar in color to the pollen particles.
  • Bees try to pollinate Minecraft:wither roses despite the fact that they are harmed by the Minecraft:Wither effect they give.
  • When they pollinate flowers, a small popping noise is heard.
  • Return to their nest after entering the "pollinated" state.
  • A pollinated bee can accelerate the growth of Minecraft:crops and sweet berry bushes it passes.
  • After enough bees enter a bee nest in the pollinated state, the bee nest becomes filled with honey.
• Being killed by a bee sting results in new Minecraft:death message: "<player> was stung to death".
