They fill with honey as bees pollinate flowers and return to their homes and, when full, can either be [[shear]]ed for [[honeycomb]]s or [[honey bottle]]s extracted using [[glass bottle]]s. == Obtaining == === Breaking === {{See also|Tutorials/Honey farming#Avoiding Bee Anger}} Bee nests can be broken by any [[tool]] or by the [[player]]'s fist, though they break faster with an [[axe]]. If a bee nest is broken with a tool not enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops nothing and any bees inside emerge angry at the player, stinging them and causing poison. 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. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bee Nest|Axe|Any|link=none|drop=0}} === Natural generation === [[File:Bee nest in superflat village.png|thumb|A naturally generated bee nest in a [[village]] in a [[Superflat]] world.]] Naturally generated bee nests generate with 2-3 bees in them.

This holds true in any biome in any dimension, and for any flower including [[wither rose]]s and flowering [[azalea]]s. [[Mangrove]]s grown from [[mangrove propagule]]s 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.{{bug|MC-249937||Propagules grown without a flower nearby can generate bee nests in the mangrove tree|WAI}} == Usage == {{:Beehive/Usage}} == Sounds == === Generic === {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table/Block/Wood/JE}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table/Block/Normal/BE}} === Unique === {{:Beehive/Sounds|a bee nest}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showblocktags=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bee Nest |spritetype=block |nameid=bee_nest |blocktags=beehives |foot=1}} {{ID table |displayname=Block entity |spritename=beehives |spritetype=block |nameid=beehive |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bee Nest |spritetype=block |nameid=bee_nest |id=473 |foot=1}} {{ID table |notnamespaced=y |displayname=Block entity |spritename=beehives |spritetype=block |nameid=Beehive |foot=1}} === Block states === {{:Beehive/BS}} === Block data === A bee nest has a [[block entity]] associated with it that holds additional data about the block. {{el|java}}: {{see also|Block entity format}} {{:Beehive/BE|nest}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Block entity format]]. === Item data === {{JE}}: {{see also|Data component format}}
