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. īees can be attached to a lead, even when angered. In Java Edition, they take damage when touching water, but in Bedrock Edition they don't. 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 a tamed wolf. Oak, birch and mangrove 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. Naturally-generated birch or oak trees have equal chances to generate with a bee nest, depending on the biome: Naturally generated bee nests generate with 4 bees in them.
