You’ll have to provide the bees with flowers and a safe area. Of course, it will be more difficult to breed bees in the nether than in the overworld. If you build your bee yard there the bees will work continuously without breaks. However, if you’re in a hurry or wish to mass-produce honey, did you know you can take your bees to the nether? There is no day or night cycle in the nether. Once it gets dark (or rains) they return to their hives to rest. Breeding Bees in the Netherīees operate on a day and night cycle. Just like with their nests you’ll need a campfire for each hive in order to safely harvest the honey.

The bees will work on these flowers in order to produce your honey. Once you have your bees and their beehives ready make sure to place flowers within a 20 block radius from the hive. Not having a hive to go into will not allow their growth progress to halt. If you’re looking to make a population boom you can wait on placing down your other beehives until all your new bees are fully grown.

You can help the bee grow faster by “feeding” it more flowers, like you would with other baby animals and food in the game. If the bee goes to work inside a hive, however, their growth will halt completely. The baby bees take about twenty minutes or a single in-game day to grow, while adult bees have a 5 minute cooldown before they can breed again. Doing the same action on another one will make them breed and spawn a baby bee, as well as grant you a small amount of experience. Right-clicking on a Bee with any flower (except a Wither Rose, which will hurt the bees) will make the bee go into “love mode”. Now that you have a home for your bees it’s finally time to breed them. As I said, any wooden planks you have on hand will work, including nether planks. Put the 3 Honeycombs that you had gathered in the middle row, with the wooden planks on the rows above and below, like in the image. This will be a perfect chance to get some experience harvesting your bees. You’ll need to construct a beehive and to do so you will need to get honeycomb. You cannot build a bee’s nest like the ones you find in the wild. A single nest can only house up to 3 bees inside them, so if you breed any more than that they won’t have a home! The naturally generated nest is not going to be enough to breed yourself a bunch of bees. If you have any at your disposal, you can put a lead on them. To lead bees to your base you can use any kind of flower for them to follow you. I would suggest building at least 3 beehives for a start: one to store the bees you have found so they’d be closer to your base and two for the other bees you’ll be making.

We will see how to build a beehive in a moment. Using the shears on the nest will grant you 3 honeycombs, exactly the amount you need to build the beehive.

You can tell the nest is full when honey can be seen dripping from the holes on its side. This prevents the bees from growing hostile when you tamper with the nest. Just like in real life you’ll need something to smoke them.īuild a campfire and place it directly underneath the nest so that the smoke from the fire goes up into it. Hitting a bee nest will cause the bees to attack you. Touching or messing with a bees’ nest in any way will cause the bees to get aggressive and protect their home. How to Tame Beesīees cannot be tamed like horses or most other mobs. Just follow them around until they head back to the nest to find it. It is easiest to find a nest during the day when the bees are out in search of flowers. There’s also a small chance of having a nest spawn on a tree if you grow the sapling within two blocks of any kind of flower.Įach nest has 1-3 bees living inside it. less than 1% in Forests and Birch Forest variants.īut do not be discouraged, as these percentages apply to each individual tree!.2% (or 3% in Bedrock Edition) for the Flower Forest biomes.5% for the Sunflower Fields and Plains biome,.In other biomes the chances for each tree to have a nest are much lower: If you find a tree in the meadow biome you are 100% guaranteed to find at least one nest. They mostly spawn in the warmer and greener biomes above ground.Ī bee nest will only spawn on oak or birch trees and each tree has their own percentage chance to spawn with a nest. To find bees in-game, think about where you could find them in real life. Breeding Bees in the Nether Where to Find Bees in Minecraft
