The first Before embarking on the search for bees to obtain honey in Minecraft, it is to know how this is going to help you, so that you can assess whether you really want it or not. Although just to explore all the possibilities of the game, it is worth it. Although it may seem like it is not relevant, both honey and combs have a few uses.
To begin with, the most basic of the uses that you can give to honey in Minecraft, is to eat. Each time you consume it, you restore three units of hunger. And not only that, honey also eliminates the effects of the poison. With the honeycombs, you can create your own hives.
And there are still more, In the manufacturing grill you can put a jar of honey to turn it into sugar. Another option is to put four bottles of honey on the crafting table, thus obtaining a block of honey. What good is it? A block of honey is capable of slowing down whoever touches it.

Now that you know all the uses that you can give to honey in Minecraft, all know how to find bees, how to obtain their honey and more that we will tell you below.
So you can get honey in Minecraft from a hive
If you want to know how you can bottle the honey from your Minecraft bees, you will only have to follow the steps that we leave you below.
The first thing is, of course, create a crafting table, which as you know, is done by putting four planks of wood on your crafting grill, and it serves all kinds of wood. Now, put the crafting table on the ground and open it so that its 3 × 3 grid appears. First you will have to create a bonfire, for which you will need 3 logs or wood, three sticks and one of charcoal. Now put all these in and save the bonfire for later.
Find the honeycomb
With the bonfire crafted, put it near a hive. Now you must wait for the hive to fill with honey, which you will know when you see golden pixels on one side of the block. Check each side of the hive, and use an empty glass bottle that you have in the hive.
To use it, it will depend on the platform you are on. If you are playing from a PC, you will have to right click and hold. If you play on mobile, press and hold the screen. In the case that you are on the Xbox you must press and hold LT, with a PlayStation press and hold L2 and with Nintendo ZL pressed. If you want to get a honeycomb in a honeycomb, instead of a bottle, you will need to use a shear.
So you can find bees
There are three different biomes in which you will be able to find the bees. These are the sunflower plains, flower forests and plains. These usually find you around their nests and hives, so if you come across a bee, follow it in the distance to reach its home. If you are playing Creative mode, you will be able to spawn bees with an egg. The times when you will not be able to find bees will be at night or when it rains.
One option you have, is to carry a bee, you can take it with your hands, or put a flower in your hand so that it follows you, just don't go too fast or it will get lost. In this way you can take the ones you want to your garden.
Benefits of having bees
Bees are not only useful for making honey in Minecraft. In the universe of cubes, They are also responsible for transporting pollen from the flowers to the hives, so this is how they create honey. But they also create new flowers as they spread pollen.
Yes, be careful not to attack a bee, its nest or a hive, as it will become enraged and sting you, both this and other nearby. These bees also die after having attacked once, only that unlike other animals, they do not leave a button, although their stinger will have the effect of poison. To avoid being bitten, all you have to do is put the fire nearby as we indicated at the beginning.
How to make a hive in Minecraft and transport it
Beehives can be created by hand, unlike nests. To do this, using a crafting table, you will have to put three wooden planks in the upper and lower row, as well as three combs in the central row.
Now that you have created your own hive, you should know that you can also transport it, they are even bees inside. The first thing is to use an anvil and put a pick in the first box. Now put a Silk Touch enchantment on the second box. With that done, bring the enchanted pickaxe to your inventory, then put a bonfire near the hive to keep the bees quiet. Now you just have to use the enchanted beak with the hive, pick it up and take it wherever you want.
