Minecraft bees are a neutral Minecraft mob, meaning they keep to themselves unless you mess with them or their nests – seems fair. If, like in reality, you get stung, the bee loses its stinger and eventually dies. Which should hopefully give you a reason to stay clear, or you know, just treat the bee with the respect it deserves.

Aside from being adorable, Minecraft bees are also resourceful and just want to live the good life, gathering pollen and helping you grow your crops. They don’t like rain and sleep at night – aww – but can be used to collect honey or craft your very own beehive.

You spawn bee nests yourself by planting saplings near flowers. A sapling will have a 5% chance to spawn a bee nest if it is grown within 2 blocks of a flower. You can speed up the tree’s growth by using bonemeal. This may take a while.

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), the syntax to summon a bee using the /summon command is:

  • pos is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the bee should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the bee will spawn in the current location.
  • nbt is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the bee such as {CustomName:””Buzzy””””} or {Health:5.0f}. See NBT tags for bee.
