Bees completely ignore flowers in flower pots.Īfter circling a flower or berry bush for about 30 seconds while making happy buzzing sounds, a bee collects pollen. They fly around their nests, and are attracted to flowers, sweet berry bushes, flowering azalea, and flowering azalea leaves. A bee does not fly through an open trap door or regular door on its own (a bee can be led through a door with a flower) but babies can fly through the gap above a fence gate in a 1×2 doorway.Ī bee nest must spawn within two blocks horizontally or vertically from any flowers for the bees inside to leave the nest.īees leave their nest one by one during the day.
Bees can venture further away if necessary.Ī bee can fly horizontally and vertically upward through scaffolding but does not fly downward. They can still attack while attached.īees usually venture up to 22 blocks from their beehive to find something they can pollinate or to attack someone.
They also take damage when touching water. īees can be attached to a lead, even when angered. Like other baby animals, killing a baby bee yields no experience.īees do not fly (like ghasts or the ender dragon), but instead hover a few blocks above the ground similar to bats and parrots.īees are considered arthropods and take increased damage from the Bane of Arthropods enchantment. Upon breeding successfully, 1–7 is dropped. Upon death, adult bees drop 1–3 orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf. Oak and birch trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any flower have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest having 1–3 bees in it.
