Before you go
- Bees in a nest or beehive.
- Flowers near the bee home.
- Shears for honeycomb or empty glass bottles for honey.
- Lit campfire below with unobstructed smoke, or a dispenser harvest setup.
Farming steps
- Find a bee nest or place a beehive where bees can reach nearby flowers.
- Keep flowers available so bees can collect nectar and return to their home.
- Wait until the nest or hive reaches honey level 5.
- For honeycomb, use shears on the full home; for honey, use an empty glass bottle instead.
- For manual harvesting, put a lit campfire within five blocks below the home and keep the smoke path clear.
- Collect the output and store it for beehives, candles, honeycomb blocks, waxing copper or the intended bottle use.
- Leave the flowers and bee home in place so bees can refill honey after the harvest.
- A dispenser facing the bee home can use shears or bottles for harvesting; test its contents and output collection before leaving it unattended.
- Harvesting a full nest with shears yields three honeycombs, while a bottle produces the separate honey-bottle output.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable after bees return with nectar and rebuild honey level 5; each harvest resets the level.
Common mistakes
- Harvesting before level 5: wait until the home is full.
- Using shears or bottles without calming bees: ensure unobstructed campfire smoke or use a dispenser arrangement.
- Assuming honeycomb and bottles are interchangeable outputs: choose the tool for the product you need.
When to stop or switch
Stop harvesting once the target stock is collected; keep flowers and the home available for the next cycle.
