The Beehive is a utility block that houses bees and allows players to harvest Honey Bottles and Honeycombs. It functions identically to a Bee Nest but is crafted by players. A Beehive is crafted using 6 Planks of any type and 3 Honeycombs in a 3×3 crafting grid. A Beehive can hold up to three bees, which enter and exit to collect pollen from flowers. When a Beehive reaches honey level 5, players can use Glass Bottles to collect Honey Bottles or Shears to collect Honeycombs. Using Shears or Glass Bottles without a Campfire or Smoke Source underneath will anger the bees, causing them to attack.
A Beehive can be mined with any tool, but axes break it the fastest. Unlike a Bee Nest, a Beehive does not generate naturally and must be crafted, making it useful for creating artificial bee farms.
