Bees are insects that can be encountered in wild bee hives in forests. Once transfered in a skep, they become a source of honey and beeswax.

Natural Generation (Spawning)

Bees reside inside a wild hive. Wild hives will spawn at temperatures between 5 and 35°C in areas with as little as 0.35 rainfall.

Behaviors

Bees will ignore players unless provoked. Angry bees will attack anything nearby including players, mobs and domesticated animals.

Receiving Damage

Bees cannot be damaged, but when a player damages a wild hive or a skep, this action may provoke bees. An angry swarm will chase the player until despawning (two minutes). Unfortunately, players cannot defend themselves against bees, making escape the only option. Placing a decoy straw dummy near a player's apiary provides an alternative target for angry bees.

Domestication

Bees cannot be domesticated, but can be collected in skeps and transported for propagation. See Beekeeping for information regarding keeping bees.

Harvesting

Breaking a wild hive or a skep using an empty hand (or any item) provides players with honeycombs, which are processed to create beeswax which can be used to seal crocks and create candles. Honeycomb also yields honey, which can be eaten or used for cooking.
