Description

Beehive is crafted from six planks and three honeycomb, giving players a movable alternative to naturally generated nests. Up to three bees can live inside. They leave during the day, visit flowers, then return carrying pollen; each successful return raises the honey level. At level five, the texture visibly fills and the block can be harvested.

Using a glass bottle collects honey, while shears collect honeycomb. Without a campfire smoke source underneath, harvesting angers the residents and nearby bees, so farms normally hide a campfire below the block. Pollinated bees speed crop growth while flying home, making a small apiary useful beside wheat, carrots, potatoes, and other fields. The block can be moved with silk touch, but careless breaking releases or loses the colony depending on timing.
