What is a Beehive and What Does It Do in Minecraft
Beehives do everything a Bee Nest does, they house up to three bees and store honey. The main difference between the two is that a beehive is man-made, so if you see any stray bees flying around they could claim the beehive as a home.
How to Make a Beehive
To make a beehive you’re going to need honey, which can only be found from Bee Nest initially. Listed below are all the items you will need to craft a Beehive, as well as a screenshot demonstrating the recipe placement.
- Honey: 3
- Wood Plank: 6 (Any Wood Planks)
How to Safely Get Honey
Getting honey may be dangerous if you don’t do it right. It could also cost a bee its life. So here’s how to get honey without anyone dying. You’ll know when a beehive is ready for harvest when you see honey sticking out of the hive.
Listed below are all the items needed to get honey.
- Campfire
- Shears
Now that you have everything you’ll need, you’re ready to get honey. All you need to do is place the campfire one block under the beehive and you’ll begin to smoke out the beehive. Once that happens, use the shears to get the honey safely.

But remember to get rid of the campfire afterwards so the bees can go back to getting honey for you.
