1.15 is an upcoming major update to Java Edition with no set release date. The theme for this update is currently unknown and will be announced at MINECON Live 2019 (September 28, 2019). This update adds bees and bee-related items, such as bee hives, bee nests and honeycombs.

Additions

Blocks

Bee nests

• Spawns naturally in flower forests, plains, and sunflower plains biomes.
• Can house both bees and honey:
  • The amount of honey in the bee nest increases as bees complete their journey and successfully return to the nest.
  • The player can harvest honeycombs and honey bottles from the nest.
  • If the player breaks the nest or harvests honeycomb or honey bottles, the bees will become hostile on the player.
    • Bees inside the nest will not turn hostile if it is harvested with silk touch (but bees outside the nest will).
    • Bees will not turn hostile if there a campfire underneath the nest while harvesting honeycomb or honey.
• Is a block entity and cannot be pushed by pistons.

Bee hives

• Can be crafted using 6 planks and 3 honeycombs.
• Functions similarly to bee nests, but does not need Silk Touch to be dropped.

Items

Honey Bottle

• Restores 6 () and 9.6 saturation.
• Can be used to craft sugar.
• Obtained by using a bottle on bee hives/nests with a honey_level of 5.

Honeycombs

• Obtained by using shears on bee hives/nests with a honey_level of 5.

Spawn Eggs

• Added bee spawn egg.

Mobs

Bees

• Have 10 health.
• Live in groups near hives and nests.
  • If a bee does not have a home nest, it will wander until it finds one.
  • Can hide inside hives.
    • Maximum of 3 bees per nest.
• When attacked, all bees from the same hive try to attack the original attacker.
  • The same happens when their hive/nest is destroyed.
    • Placing a campfire under the nest will make the bees passive.
  • They have an  Anger data tag, defaults to zero, when attacked is set to around 700 ticks.
  • When they attack, they give poison to the target for 10 seconds and then they die 50–60 seconds after attack.
  • When bees attack the player, their eyes will turn red.
• Can be bred using any type of flower, including wither roses.
  • They will follow any player holding a flower like other mobs, but if the player holds still the bees will land around them.
• Can land on flowers, and the bee will enter a "pollinated" state where pale white particles will appear on them, and small particle effects of the same color will come off them. The bee will also have its texture changed while in this state.
  • Bees will try to pollinate wither roses despite the fact that they are harmed by the wither effect they give.
  • When they pollinate flowers a small popping noise is heard.
  • Will return to their nest after entering the "pollinated" state.
  • A pollinated bee can accelerate the growth of crops it passes.
  • After enough bees enter a bee nest in the pollinated state, the bee nest will be filled with honey.
• Being killed by a bee sting results in new death message: "<player> was stung to death".
