Complete Minecraft Beekeeping Guide

Finding Bees

• Biomes with Bees Nests:
  • Best Biome: Meadow biome (all trees generate with bees nests)
  • Other biomes:
    • Sunflower Plains
    • Plains
    • Mangrove Swamp
    • Each tree has a 5% chance of generating with a bees nest.
  • Low chance biomes (not recommended):
    • Flower Forests
    • Forests
    • Birch Forests
    • Old Growth Birch Forests

Understanding Bee Structures

• Bee's Nest vs. Beehive:
  • Bee's Nest:
    • Naturally found, cannot be crafted.
  • Beehive:
    • Crafted using 6 wooden planks and 3 honeycomb.
    • Honeycomb obtained by shearing a filled bee's nest.

Farming Honey

1. Setting Up a Bee Farm:
   • Lure 2 bees from a bee's nest using flowers.
   • Place down a beehive and ensure flowers are nearby.
   • More flowers = faster honey production.
2. Breeding Bees:
   • Feed adult bees flowers to create a baby bee.
3. Checking Honey Level:
   • Use the data menu to check honey level.
   • Level 5 indicates readiness for harvest (yellow splodges visible).
4. Harvesting:
   • Use shears for honeycomb (3 pieces).
   • Use glass bottles for honey (1 bottle).
   • This also applies to bee's nests.

Importance of Campfires

• Purpose:
  • Smoke calms bees, preventing attacks during harvesting.
• Setup:
  • Place campfire one block underground, cover with a trapdoor, and place a beehive above.
  • Surround beehive with flowers and have bees farming pollen.

Uses of Honey

• Crafting Items:
  • Candles (using string and honeycomb) - unique lighting.
  • Honeycomb Blocks (made from 4 honeycomb).
  • Waxing Copper (honeycomb prevents further oxidation).
  • Honey Block (4 honey bottles) - useful for redstone machines.
  • One honey bottle = 3 pieces of sugar.
