Uses
- Honey Bottle — Right-click a full hive with a glass bottle to collect honey without angering the bees, resetting the honey level to zero.
- Honeycomb — Shearing a full hive yields three Honeycombs but angers any bees inside unless a lit campfire burns within five blocks below the hive.
Found In
- Crafted, not natural — Crafted from 6 wood planks and 3 Honeycombs; the similar Bee Nest generates naturally in the world instead.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Beehive?
None — it can be broken by hand, though an axe is fastest.
Does breaking a Beehive release the bees?
Yes, unless mined with Silk Touch, which keeps any bees sealed inside the dropped block.
How do I harvest honey safely?
Light a campfire within five blocks below the hive before harvesting with shears or a bottle; the smoke keeps bees calm.
Can a Beehive generate naturally in the world?
No. Only the Bee Nest generates naturally; the Beehive must be crafted from planks and honeycombs.
