The Benefits of Bees in Minecraft
Bees carry pollen from flowers to hives to make honey. They also create new flowers as they spread pollen, so a beehive can be very helpful if you’re trying to make a garden. If you attack a bee, hive, or nest, prepare to get stung by nearby bees. Bees die after stinging once and don’t leave behind any spoils, but the sting will inflict the poison effect. To avoid getting stung, place a campfire near the hive before approaching it to keep the bees calm.
