How to Harvest a Beehive in Minecraft
Last updated
Curious about how to get honey without making the bees in Minecraft angry? Let’s dive into the sweet process of harvesting a beehive.
Ever wondered how to safely collect honey from a beehive in Minecraft, without causing a bee uprising? We’ve got you covered!
The Sweet Steps to Harvesting a Beehive
To start, make sure you have a campfire and a bottle or shears. First, place a campfire directly underneath the beehive. Smoke calms the bees, meaning they won’t attack you. Then, you can either use a bottle to collect honey or shears to get honeycombs without angering the bees.
Remember, only attempt to harvest when the beehive shows dripping honey. That means it’s full! Using a bottle on a full beehive gives you honey bottles, and shears give you honeycombs. Easy as pie, or should we say, sweet as honey?
