Dearest farming is the process of collecting honey bottles and honeycombs from beehives and bee nests. To get honeycombs, yous tin use shears when the beehive or bee nest has reached honey_level 5. Honeycomb is used for crafting your own beehives or bee nests for bees to inhabit, too as for crafting decorative honeycomb blocks, candles, and waxing copper blocks. To go honey bottles, you lot can use an empty canteen on a hive or nest at honey level 5. Honey bottles are food items that are able to cure poison, and tin too be used for crafting carbohydrate and honey blocks, the latter of which have gluey properties that give them a diversity of useful applications.

Dearest is generated by bees after they collect pollen and nectar. Bees emerge from their habitation and go looking for flowers. After collecting pollen and nectar at the flowers, the bees return dwelling house and get inside to turn the nectar into honey. When done, the bees emerge again to look for more flowers. Over time the honey collects until the bee nest or beehive is full and tin then exist harvested by the player in diverse forms.

Obtaining bees [ ]

Bee nests can be institute naturally generated in some biomes such every bit the flower wood. As shown here, information technology is important to place a campfire beneath earlier harvesting from it to avoid angering the bees nearby. Aroused bees attack y'all, lose their stingers, and die shortly afterwards.

The first pace on your foray into apiculture is to detect bees in your world. Your initial source of bees is a naturally generated or spawned bee nest. Bee nests have a pocket-sized run a risk to generate on oak or birch trees in specific biomes during world generation. Afterward world generation, there is too a chance for a bee nest to spawn on an oak or birch tree when that tree grows nearly flowers (encounter post-generation).

Bee nests and beehives both slowly fill with honey over fourth dimension equally the bees do their work collecting pollen from flowers. If you find a natural bee nest and it is conveniently located, yous can leave it as is and return to collect the beloved when you want. Proceed in mind that breaking a bee nest without Silk Bear upon breaks it without dropping anything and, cause all the bees from that nest to swarm the player regardless of whether or not a campfire was placed underneath it. Aside from hazard to the player, this is disastrous because the bees die from stinging you, and this can wipe out a hive.

If you want the bees at another location, you lot have a few options for getting them there. First, yous need a beehive at the new location. (Beehives are constructed using honeycomb. To get your first honeycomb, you need to discover a bee nest that has reached love level 5 and then use shears on it. Come across Fugitive Bee Anger below.) You lot tin and so bring bees to your hive from the nest. You can also just motility a whole nest if you want, meet below.

Bees tin be lured (and bred) using whatsoever type of flower (including 2-block flowers and wither roses), and tin can also be moved using leads. If you lot feed the bees the flowers, they enter love mode and breed, producing a babe bee. Nonetheless, if the bee nest is situated at a big distance from where you wish to do your beekeeping, a convenient way to transport bees is to break an occupied bee nest with a tool with Silk Touch and bring the nest with you. Bees that are occupying the nest when information technology is broken with a tool with Silk Touch remain inside the nest as an item and are non angered. Bees render to their nests at nighttime or when it is raining; these are optimal times to suspension the nest.

If you don't have a tool with Silk Touch or don't want to remove the bee nest from its natural location, another option is to stay with the bees as they work until they accept filled their nest with beloved. And so, place a campfire at least two blocks directly below the hive, and put carpet on top of the campfire ‌^{[ Coffee Edition only ]}. The campfire keeps the bees from getting aroused with y'all, and the carpeting keeps you from cooking the bees alive.

When this is in identify, utilise shears on the hive to extract three honeycombs (they'll fly out in a random direction). The honeycomb can be used to arts and crafts a beehive that y'all tin can place anywhere you like.

A beehive is functionally identical to a bee nest, but information technology is not destroyed if cleaved with a tool without Silk Affect (though this nonetheless causes the bees inside to exit the hive and swarm). Too, if yous don't want to completely remove the original bee population, consider breeding your own grouping of bees from the original group to accept domicile with yous. You tin can lure them to follow y'all by holding flowers.

Every bit of Java Edition i.15.two, occupied bee nests additionally have a 5% risk to spawn on oak or birch copse in any biome that were grown from saplings within ii blocks of any flower at the same y-level. With a fleck of luck and a large enough supply of oak or birch saplings and bone meal, one tin can obtain bees relatively easily without having to travel, by repeatedly growing trees well-nigh flowers until one spawns a bee nest equally information technology grows. This is too an platonic manner to obtain bees in older worlds created prior to Coffee Edition 1.15, as it saves players from having to locate anything.

Flowers tin can be harvested from the landscape, and/or produced by using bone meal on grass blocks. An fe farm will provide an endless supply of poppies as a byproduct.

Helping bees work [ ]

Similar to villagers, bees follow their ain schedule. During the twenty-four hour period in clear conditions, bees leave their beehive or bee nest and wander around in search of flowers. When a bee finds a blossom, information technology hovers over the flower for a short fourth dimension to collect pollen, irresolute its advent, after which it heads back to the hive. The pollen-laden bee enters the hive and works for 2 minutes, and then if it is nevertheless daytime and the weather is articulate, it exits the hive to repeat the process. When night falls or the weather is rainy or stormy, bees render to their hives regardless of whether they have collected pollen.

As long as bees accept a beehive to live in and access to flowers, they are perfectly fine working in the dreary environment of The Nether.

To assistance improve the efficiency of the bees' piece of work, place flowers near the hive so they can get together pollen and return to their hive equally apace as possible. You can also improve the efficiency of your bees by relocating them to the Under or the End, as neither dimension experiences weather or daylight cycles, meaning that bees tin work at any time.^{[ verify ]} If you're worried about bees wandering besides far away from their hives, it may be wise to build an enclosure to both protect them and prevent them from straying besides far away. This is specially important if you lot choose to keep the bees in The Under or in The End, equally these dimensions can be particularly dangerous.

Information technology is worth noting that the pollen particles that autumn from bees tin can cause crops to accelerate growth stages similar to using bone meal. Thus, it tin be beneficial to build your beehives near your crops to permit the bees to assistance them grow faster, although doing so does not ameliorate the bee'south efficiency in making dearest.

Harvesting [ ]

Dripping dearest.

Pollinated bees fly into beehives and offset working for a while. When done, they go out the hive, increasing the honey level by 1. When the beloved level has reached 5, the block's appearance changes, indicating that it is full of honey, and produces dripping love particles if suspended above the ground. If shears are used on a full beehive, it drops three honeycombs. Unlike with shearing pumpkins, these honeycomb items are generated directly in the eye of the block, causing them to spray everywhere (this is intended behavior).^[one] If an empty glass bottle is used on a total beehive, the bottle fills with honey, becoming a love bottle. Nevertheless, if this is washed by hand without preparation, the bees have offense and attack the histrion!

Fugitive bee anger [ ]

In Coffee Edition, bees can exist protected from the campfire past placing a carpet over information technology.

Unfortunately, casually harvesting honey or honeycomb causes any bees inside the hive to emerge and assault the player who does it. If the player fights back with any assault, every bee in range joins the set on. Any time a bee succeeds in landing an attack, the histrion gets poisoned, and the bee itself dies near a minute later. Naturally, this is bad when you were hoping to adopt those bees, and worse when most of your own swarm commits suicide!

At that place are two main ways to avoid this fate: One is to place a lit campfire (or even fire) directly underneath the hive. A campfire can be within five blocks underneath the hive, if nil blocks the smoke. This "smokes" the hive, so that harvesting does not aggravate the bees. Nonetheless, a campfire (allow alone a fire block) also damages mobs that touch it, and bees are no exception. In Java Edition, you can put the bivouac just beneath basis level, with a carpeting over it. The rug does not cake the smoke, and the covered campfire can stay at that place forever, allowing yous to harvest the nest or hive. A trapdoor likewise works only as well. In Bedrock Edition, carpeting the campfire blocks the smoke. It is best to put the campfire in a hole below the beehive and put a fence around the pigsty to prevent animals from burning themselves (this works in Coffee Edition likewise).

The other is to maintain deniability by using redstone: Hives can exist harvested by using a dispenser (with a glass bottle or shears ), and and then the bees do not attack anyone. This works because the whenever a cake gets activated by redstone, such as a Dispenser or TNT, the game cannot determine who activated said block - it only sees that the targeted block was activated via redstone. Every bit such, the game is unable to assign a target for the bees to attack. This mechanic tin as well extend to other aspects of the game, such as determining who attacks a Villager via exploding TNT or the ability to block TNT with a Shield. The #Automatic harvesting section below discusses designs for using redstone.

Even if at that place are no bees in a nest or hive, harvesting them or breaking them can anger bees if they are nearby. One fashion of making certain a nest or hive is empty before breaking it is to cake all six sides of the hive with solid blocks then bees can't enter. Then wait until night and so the bees go back into their remaining hives, and the hive can be broken (or harvested) safely. The blocks must be solid and touching the hive. Fence posts, glass panes, and trap doors do not block the surface or contain the bees.

Protecting your bees [ ]

Be careful almost hazards in the vicinity, remembering that bees explore a wide range and wing over fences and walls. Lava, fire, uncovered campfires, and cactus tin can all human action as "problems-zappers" and wipe out your colony. Bees can also wander through nether portals — you may desire to go along a blossom or two prepare on the other side to help lure them back. Aside from making the area rubber, you lot may desire to breed up an extra hive/nest or two, collect them with Silk Touch, and stash them someplace safe in example of disaster.

Once y'all've built up a few productive hives, the most likely disaster is accidentally aggravating your bees — never mind the hazard to yous, but every bee that stings successfully will dice, which can wipe out whole hives. If you can't quickly escape to someplace where the bees can't follow y'all, the best option might be to only stand at that place and permit the bees get information technology over with quickly, and look out the bee'south deaths. Just eat enough nutrient so the sting impairment won't kill you -- the toxicant damage tin't kill you lot by itself, and if you lot already have a honey canteen yous tin cure it anyway. Afterward you've waited out the bees' deaths, grab some spare flowers and go on waiting a scrap longer — if you're lucky, a few of your bees may have been busy inside their hives for the duration of the attack, so you can breed them to re-fill the newly-emptied hives. Every bit higher up, keeping backup hives safely in a chest tin can also assistance with this situation.

Products [ ]

Honey bottles [ ]

Honey bottles tin can exist farmed using glass bottles on beehives or bee nests. Bees wing around a blossom to collect pollen. If they behave the pollen dorsum to their hive, then the honey level of the hive is raised by i. When the dear level reaches v, the texture of the hive or nest changes to evidence honey dripping out, and you can collect the honey. And then yous can printing the 'use item' button on the nest with a glass bottle in your manus to get a honey bottle. Honey bottles provide a stackable remedy for poison; dissimilar milk, they do not remove other buffs or debuffs. Honey bottles stack to xvi per inventory slot.

Honey bottles can be crafted into honey blocks in your inventory's crafting grid; you do get the empty bottles back. Beloved blocks have a variety of useful features: Equally a floor, they reduce autumn damage by 80%, simply also boring move and jumping. As a wall, they let players slow their fall and avert fall impairment. When moved past pistons, they can drag forth adjacent blocks (like slime blocks) and even (different slime blocks) comport forth creatures walking atop them. You lot can also craft them back into honey bottles, by putting them into a crafting tabular array with four empty bottles (four separate slots/stacks).

Honeycombs [ ]

Using shears on a hive or nest that is full of dearest yields three honeycombs. Four honeycombs can be crafted into a honeycomb block, which is a purely decorative cake. As of ane.17, honeycombs can also be used to make candles and to preserve copper blocks from (further) oxidation.

But, about immediately relevant, honeycombs are also used for crafting beehives. The recipe for a beehive is below. Beehives differ from natural bee nests in that the hive tin can be harvested without Silk Bear on (just any bees within, or flying nearby, must exist placated).

Automatic harvesting [ ]

Dispenser south can be used to harvest honey bottles and honeycomb from a hive using a redstone bespeak. The output of the dispenser must point toward the beehive, and the dispenser must contain glass bottles to collect love bottles, or shears to collect honeycomb. Collecting honey bottles places the item direct into the dispenser, whereas collecting honeycomb causes the items to drop onto the floor. Y'all can prevent filled honey bottles from getting placed back in the dispenser by using an item filter below the dispenser. The benefit to using an item filter is that you don't demand to fill each slot of the dispenser. Dispensers deplete the durability of the shears with every use. Annotation that harvesting from the hives using dispensers doesn't acrimony the bees, and then placing campfires underneath them is not necessary if y'all harvest this way.

Redstone comparator s output a redstone signal from a beehive based on the honey level of the hive. Every fourth dimension a bee exits the hive after having worked with the pollen it has nerveless, the honey level increases past 1. Each honey level increases the redstone output from a redstone comparator by 1, to a maximum of v, which is when the hive changes in appearance and indicates it is ready for harvest. By using this mechanic, yous tin set up a arrangement with the output signal to actuate a dispenser every bit soon as the hive is full. The two designs shown are both tileable; the longer and more than expensive one puts the hive on meridian, and allows a filtering hopper to be placed beneath..

Observer s are less useful here, considering they output a signal every fourth dimension the love level of the hive changes, not just when the hive is fix to be harvested. This is a problem if trying to collect beloved bottles: If the hive is not gear up to be harvested, the dispenser ejects a drinking glass bottle when the observer activates it. This could pb to a lot of glass bottles being lost if yous don't have a system to pick them back up again. Observers work improve for harvesting honeycomb — if the hive isn't ready, dispensers don't habiliment down the shears or eject them.

Honeycombs [ ]

When a dispenser collects honey from a beehive or bee nest with shears in its inventory, iii honeycombs are ejected from the hive in a random direction and the shears inside the dispenser lose 1 point of durability. Because of this, the goal is to restrict where the honeycombs can go and have a hopper or minecart with hopper to pick them up. Surrounding the hive in total blocks and leaving one block empty helps restrict where the honeycombs are ejected. However, make sure that the front of the hive is not obstructed past whatsoever blocks, as it needs to be accessible to allow bees to enter and exit the hive.

The dispenser should exist filled with as many shears as possible to maximize the time the system tin operate before refilling. You could fifty-fifty fix a way to automatically restock the dispenser with shears when the durability runs out.

When a dispenser collects honey from a beehive or bee nest with a glass bottle in its inventory, a love bottle is placed into its inventory. In order to extract the honey bottles from a dispenser in a lossless mode, the best style to do so is to prepare an particular sorter underneath the dispenser to collect just honey bottles. 8 of the 9 slots of the dispenser should be filled with equally many drinking glass bottles as possible, leaving at to the lowest degree one space empty for the love bottles. The more glass bottles that are loaded into the dispenser, the longer this organisation can run without restocking. Naturally once you pick upward the honey bottles, you can craft them into honey blocks, thus freeing up the bottles for reuse.

Note: Tiling the design as shown in the bottom two sidebar images will brand the dispensers inaccessible — the grass block in front end of the dispenser needs to be replaced with a slab, contend, or trapdoor so the dispenser can exist refilled with empty bottles. The height hopper in each row must be prepare with 2 honey bottles in the first slot, and 11-13 "junk" items (stackable to 64) spread across the other slots. As honey is collected, one canteen is kept in the lower hopper, only bottles after that are passed on to the output.

The design as well has one not-obvious failure country — if a hive becomes total and the dispenser has run out of bottles, even later on being resupplied it does not harvest the hive. The solution here is to break and replace a slice of redstone grit on the hive's top-layer trail. This interrupts the comparator's point and allows the dispenser to trigger on the full hive.
