Congratulations! Now you have a bee in your inventory, and it won’t mind being stuck in the cage for a while. The simplest way to get a new bee is to find it in the world and use a Bee Cage on it. Note that villages often contain Sturdy Bee Cages as worldgen loot, which don’t stack, but are reusable if you have a supply of those you can skip making your own, although you’ll still want to make one for the manual. The in-game manual, made with a Bee Cage and a Book.Advanced Hives, made with honeycomb, planks, shears, and campfires.Honey Treats, made with honey and honeycomb.You can look up the exact recipes on JEI, but the main things you’ll want to start with are: Both of these will anger the hive unless you pacify them with smoke first, so be prepared to run – you can probably defeat the bees easily but then they won’t be around to collect more honey, and you’ll need more than one harvest. Once a nest is dripping with honey, you can harvest honey by using a glass bottle on it, or honeycomb by using shears. If you’re having trouble finding one, there is a chance for newly grown birch and oak trees to come with a beehive plant a bunch of saplings, plant flowers next to them, and wait for the trees to grow, and each one will have a 5% chance to come with a beehive. You need to get these from vanilla bee nests, which can be found randomly on trees. If you’re already familiar with JEI, these are the “recipe for” and “uses of” views. This also works for most non-bee things for example, left-clicking on a nest will give you its recipe, while right-clicking on it will tell you what biomes it supports and what sorts of bees it can attract. There’s usually also an “info” tab (marked with a □) with general information. Once you find the bee you want, left-clicking will give you information about how to get the bee (what nest type it likes, or what other bees you need to interbreed, or the like), while right-clicking will show you information about what the bee does once you have it – what food it needs, what resources it produces, what blocks (if any) it can destroy/alter, and what other bee species can be bred from it. They all have “bee” in the name, so they’re easy to search for. Productive Bees has excellent JEI integration, so you can learn a lot about bees by looking them up in JEI. Breed bees or offer them special foods to get new bee species.Put the bees in Advanced Beehives and give them access to flowers to get special honeycombs.Capture wild bees (with Bee Cages) or lure them (with Honey Treats).Use it to make Bee Cages, Honey Treats, and Advanced Hives.Get honey and honeycomb from vanilla bees.The mod will still load without them, but they are absolutely necessary to actually understand what’s going on. Jade (for information about bee nests and other placed blocks).In addition to Productive Bees itself, you will need: this guide assumes you are already familiar with the basics of modded Minecraft, but does not assume any familiarity with Minecraft beekeeping even in vanilla. In light of that, I figured I’d write a short guide to getting started with Productive Bees, which is a mod I’m having a lot of fun with, but also probably gave me the most trouble getting off the ground with, even with the wiki. In-game documentation has improved massively since the introduction of Patchouli, and these days you can often get help by dropping onto Discord, but no matter how friendly and helpful the Discord is or how complete the in-game book, I generally prefer an offline manual. The problem I have with a lot of Minecraft mods is that out-of-game documentation is thin to nonexistent, often consisting of little more than a YouTube video from two years ago for an obsolete version of the mod. ![]() And since it’s me, I also installed a whole bunch of mods, including Immersive Engineering, Tinker’s Construct, Beyond Earth, and Productive Bees, a beekeeping mod that lets you attract, capture, and/or breed a wide variety of bees that produce various useful resources. My daughter has been getting me back into Minecraft with her, so I set up a private server we could both play on. ![]()
