Hey Pix! Just a tip, you can have more than 3 bees per hive for more efficiency. Basically when the 3 bees inside the hive come out, the other bees can go in, which makes it so the hive is always generating honey!
I haven’t seen that work in Java. When the multiplying-bees glitch happened in my apiary, and it was overflowing with bees, there were still only 3 bees attached to each hive. The ‘extras’ had nowhere to go and caused lag, especially at night.
You can create beekeepers house's back where the honey farm is and front at the river. Door would be at side. Roof can be "falling" towards the river, that would look nice!
I completely forgot that your outro music is the minecraft disk music. I watched a different series yesterday and they were vibing to that melody, and the only thing I could think of is this survival guide, hahaha.
Hey Pix! Thank you for all the work you've been doing on the survival guide series, I've been playing along and learning so much. I've played Minecraft for a few years now but never properly on my own so this has been great! I'm starting to feel more confident as a Minecraft player rather than just a builder
I just finished building Wattles bee farm, the glass dome ar-bee-torium hehe...nice because pretty. But I like this bit about using hopper minecarts directly under the hive... simple and efficient. Gotta have the honeycomb, I've been doing copper domes for rooves and yah, need to wax, to get the perfect look ☺️
I really appreciate the details here, the demo of the mechanics. Makes it easy to be creative with my own...not just copy and paste, but build something of my own knowing how it works. Pix Lex FTW, lol 😁
Extremely ironically useful timing! My current game is a base in a snow biome village that I have been building up like crazy! (Basically, it's now a giant Snow Fort-ress.) Now that it has been long secured, (high snow walls & well illuminated) I have been doing miscellaneous (and decorative) projects there. Things like my Snow-Tower/ Lighthouse, beside the frozen river. the big doghouse/ kennel, the stable, etc. But currently, I have desperately wanted to make a Greenhouse / bee farm, type structure! (full of flowers) So, I REALLY needed to see HOW to set up an automatic Honey/ Honeycomb farm as part of it! Thanx Pixlriffs!
3:44 The way i made the collection system is I planted flowers on farm land and then put regular hoppers under it and blocked the nest on all the sides except the side where the farmland is, saves 10 ingots of iron.
Perfect timing! I’m literally about to start a honey farm 🤗🐝🐝🐝 Your tutorial videos are my favourite! You take your time and really explain the mechanics while you go. I really appreciate it! Thank you
Just a tip for you. While maybe inconvenient for you. Bees are always productive in the nether and or the end dimension since those dimensions don't have a day night cycle and/or rain and let them work 24/7 as long as the chunk is loaded
I had no idea it was this easy lol also, i believe it says "dispenser failed" when there's nothing to sheer. That alone had me pulling my hair when i made my first sheep farm lmao i kept thinking i did it wrong and because there's so many modules i didn't know which was "failing" until i just sat watching one and figured it out hehe
Every time I start a new project you come out with a brand new video that covers EXACTLY what I need. Really enjoy and appreciate the content Sir! Thank you. 😄
I've seen countless bee farm vids before. In fact I watched one from sausage a day or two ago. Funnier still I've even seen at least one version of Pix building a bee farm, maybe even two? I am pretty sure I saw at least 200 of the season one episodes, and spend a good chunk of time on other Minecraft channels. Suffice it to say I am rarely discovering "new" information - although with pix it's not uncommon! But in spite of the content being similar, the sheer power of Pix's encyclopedic knowledge, the series' comfortable pacing, and the generally authentic and positive vibes, I'm still here and excited episode after episode.
Hey pix you don’t actually need a hopper minecrart. A regular hopper works the same because they pick up items in a full block range above them, and beehives spawn the honeycombs in the middle of the beehive block
I really love you explain the different redstone parts. As someone who doesn’t work with redstone very much I would love a redstone episode or something with your knowledge base explaining it I think it would be fantastic 😊
Plot twist: these ARE the redstone episodes. I might make an episode where I focus on specific redstone components, but I think practical examples are way more useful than just telling people what each component does.
Very nice simple farms. I like to add a bit of space to put a fence gate in front of the hives/nests, which can be controlled by redstone to be closed for when I want to trap the bees inside and turn the farm off, but that's entirely optional.
Pix, I disagree with you on letting the extra bees go. If there are 3 extra bees per hive/nest, then 3 bees are working in the hive while 3 are working to collect pollen. If you have extra bees, they will go into the hive shortly after the other ones pop out reducing total time for a full cycle of work.
I have gotten into the habit of using my first netherite ingot for something that most MC celebrities seem to overlook: Crafting a Lodestone. If your base is far from the world spawn point, compasses are almost useless for finding your way home after an exploration trek because they point to the world spawn point. Place a Lodestone in your base and tap a compass against it to create a Lodestone Compass, which will point to the Lodestone instead of the world spawn point. You'll have an easier time finding your way home with that. While upgrading a hoe to netherite completes an Advancement, without enchantments on the hoe, a Lodestone might be more useful.
When I made a bee farm in my world, I built a normal honey farm, but filled up 1 slot in each dispenser with shears instead of bottles. That way I got both from one farm
I just raided an ocean monument in bedeock edition without water breathing.i literally was sneaking on a magma block and have to broke it with mining fatique 3 several times.but successfully raided it
Hey Pix, can you please put the episode number earlier in the title or also on the thumbnail? On mobile it’s really hard to read the full title if it’s that long. Thank you for the great videos as always

Amazing tutorial! But I have the feeling, that Building the farm, will be a lot easier, then getting in the Bees 😅Because somehow, all the Bees from the Flower forest I am inhabiting, have suddenly perished as I finally need them. As I understand it, you can spawn them in with birch?
Did I read somewhere that a bug causing bees to disappear has been fixed? My bees have disappeared from both my honey and honeycomb farms. I painstakingly repopulated them once. But, it happened again. I haven’t tried to repopulate them since 1.17 as I don’t want to waste my time until I know how to prevent their disappearance again.
I had the same thing happen in my 1.17 world 2 times then recreated the issue and added an MC bug report. There was an issue with them despawning if the player left the area even if built in the spawn chunks. The 1.18.1 had the bees issue patched.
@@RedisFun2 Thank you. I can finally get my farms back up and running. Luckily, after the first occurrence and the pain of having to locate new nests, I bred up enough to fill some spare hives and stored them in a chest so I wouldn't have to go hunting for them again.
I’m confused as to why you even need the comparators. Couldn’t you use the same setup as the shears, except fill the dispenser with bottles? Wouldn’t the honey bottle still get kicked out that way?
I’ve built this and everything works fine except my honey comb isn’t going into the hoppers, it just gets spat out somewhere or stays on top of the flowering azaleas. Any advice?
Hey Pix! Diamonds can be found at the max in veins of 8 only right? Today while strip mining I found a huge vein of 13 diamonds!! And even four more diamonds a couple of blocks later!! Is it possible or its a glitch? 🤔🤔
Diamond ore veins have occasionally been larger than 8 blocks before 1.18 already, but now that should actually happen even more often. Each chunk can generate small, medium and large veins, and the large ones can sometimes contain more than 10 ores.
In Bedrock, my bees can’t seem to leave the hive/nest if there is a flower directly in front of it. So my honeycomb ends up being difficult to collect, as it sometimes pops out the front. Just an FYI for anyone out there.
@@droppedpasta I used flowering azalea leaves because you can't put the azalea shrub/tree on top of the two outside hoppers. It's an excellent work-around in Bedrock and still be able to keep Pixlriffs design. Awesome build Pix!!! A+
However...I am still having an issue where the honey bottle ends up on top of the dispenser and not getting picked up by the hopper under the bee nest. And sometimes the bees get stuck outside the hive. They may just need more block space to enter/exit the hive consistently.
@@twhy01 Hmm, never had that problem with the honey bottles before. Basically built this same one back in 1.17, though I think there was a solid block on the dispenser, and I was using hopper minecarts.
Fun fact: Technical players complained about the honey comb shearing result and Mojang changed it so instead of three individual items only a single stack of three items are spawned. In short: Hopper minecarts are slightly overkill for honeycomb farms now, since regular hoppers will be able to do the same thing since that change, as long as you don't point any other hoppers into the hopper. (You can basically use the honey farm design for honey comb as well.)
@@Pixlriffs As far as I can tell that was fixed as MC-165695 in 1.15.2 pre-release 1. The thing with hoppers is that if you have the hopper line right under the hives (instead of hoppers pointing down, as you did in the honey bottle farm here), hoppers might be in cooldown if they happen to be transporting items from other slices of the farm. Maybe you remember the collection issues from a farm without the downward pointing hopper.
I did my first honey farm last weekend. I remember seeing your past videos on it back in 2019 and the one on the Hardcore series but I decided to try my hand on figuring it out myself this time LOL I completely forgot comparators could read blocks through other solid blocks. I ended up using a repeater at the end of my circuit to power the dispenser. Not terrible, but more expensive than your solution for sure! I have a question though: I did my honey farm on a 45° diagonal (with free range bees). In the end I spaced out the modules because the diagonal made the redstone link in weird ways and I was afraid it was gonna mess up the farm. When you say it's okay if the redstone on the modules touch, you mean only if they are side by side? Also: I used hoppers on my honeycomb farm and I didn't see any jotting out except for once (in a 12 hive scale production), so I'm wondering how much loss is on having hoppers instead of minecart hoppers... Nevertheless, thanks for the video! It's always a joy to see you explaining things. 😄
Yes, the redstone only works if it's side-by-side. If you offset them by one block, the power from one module could activate an adjacent module and cause the dispenser to fire before the hive is ready.
7:35 i do suggest a bee breeder , it will guarantee you will have 3/3 , also for singleplayer , you can install minihud mod (download fabric , then download minihud and malilib , it will show you how many bees there are in the hive if you look at it after you select bee count into the mod menu , h+c)
I'm just starting a big copper project and gave these a try, but the honey bottle dispenser set up won't put anything in a hopper, it just spits it out sideways or even above or back in the comparator. And they won't stack in the comparator if I try to leave it an open spot, it just fills the one spot with a single bottle or starts failing to collect if I don't keep the bottles in all the slots. I'm so very confused!
I think with the new update on console as of writing bees and flowers can’t occupy the same space. I had to remove the flowers in front of the hive or the bees won’t leave. But my hive has more grass and flowers so it’s not the exact build here.
What's the reasoning behind a hopper minecart under the nest that is sheared and a regular hopper under the one harvested for honey? In both cases, they serve the function of collecting the produce before it's ejected in a random direction, right?. Can the hopper minecart be replaced with a hopper, or is it faster than a regular hopper or something like that? I feel like I'm missing something. Btw, great video as always!
idk how but i swear some instructions are left out of this for the honey farm at the end of video... only because building it while watching, i hiccup every time putting the dispensers down coz they cover where they hive should go in front of the poppies... until i just put an extra line of planks on top where the dispensers connect to. or is it coz the glass at the back where comparators are, are actually two high? confusing tbh but meh i think i figured it :/ ?
What exactly would be the benefit? It's a Java world, so most of the redstone contraptions would be broken, and even some other Java-specific features wouldn't work.
Doing this in 1.19.3 and my farm dispenses empty bottles into the barrel/chest. And sometimes it doesn't even trigger the dispensers at all and the honey just gets stuck in the hive for me to manually get it. Granted, I'm doing this on a multiplayer server so that may be the case, but anyone experiencing the same thing in singleplayer?
because this design is obsolet since month they patch some redstone / hive interaction, especially when a comparator signal is use on hive and go to 1 or more , the comparator didnt update themselve due when the power level of the hive decrease anyway , he always consider himself alimented never update to 0 . You should look for / try a design with dispenser lock used to maintain update when hive gain / loose power level . Or simply add a day / night clock to your comp to lock the signal of the hive at night ( no honey level can be gain due to bee's inactivity) and unlock it when day rise as an update , with a chunk loader is barely possible .
Pix suggested to another comment here from a Bedrock player about that by suggesting using flowering azalea or flowering azalea leaves in place of the glass block. *see comment thread from Dropped Pasta
Hi pixlriffs, I have a question for you and hopefully you know the solution or someone else who has built the farms. It works for a little bit but then the dispensers fail to work after. I 've done the honeycomb farm on a server and in a single-player and same issues. I followed your tutorial to a T. Could it be the mechanics of the bee hive/ collection have changed?
They haven’t changed. A couple of things could be affecting that - make sure the dispensers still have shears, check the redstone dust hasn’t just stayed powered (and break/replace if it has), and make sure you’re keeping the chunks loaded (and the bees within simulation distance) if you want the farm to operate while you’re doing other stuff in the area.
@@Pixlriffs Thanks! I think I figured out what was wrong with the dispensers in single play I fixed them now and they work. I think I needed to place the beehive last...then took the observer and Redstone down and put it back and it fixed it. As for the server, I think it is a little strange because it is a bedrock/java server I did get it to work a different way for the honeycomb...but I have to place campfires because they get mad when it is sheared and I took out the minecart hopper from underneath and it started to work...so not sure...but it is collecting it now.
Would the wax collecting method work with honey collecting if you filled the first dispenser slot with a stack of glass bottles and the rest of the slots with bottles of honey? When my personal inventory is full and I collect honey with an empty bottle (from a stack), the bottle of honey spits out to the ground. Not sure if it would work the same way.
The issue, I think, is that there are actually multiple stages the hive goes through before it's ready, and the observer sends a signal on every stage. With shears in the dispenser, this just means that nothing happens when a redstone pulse goes through and the hive isn't full; with honey bottles, however, if a pulse goes through the dispenser and the hive isn't ready, the dispenser will spit out an empty bottle like a dropper would, which is a bit of a waste. The comparator makes sure the honey bottle dispensers _only_ trigger when the hive is ready.
They're Minecraft bees. The game doesn't hurt the bees if you keep them in a space like this, they haven't programmed concepts like 'cruelty' or 'neglect' into the game. If you find it cruel, that's up to you; as I said in the video, you can leave these modules open and the bees will return to the hives on their own. They'll just take longer to do it; and sometimes they'll wander off and get lost on their own, but you'll still get honeycomb sometimes

My tip: Use flowering azalea bushes for your bee farms.
where could I place it? Does it have to replace a specific block or can I place it anywhere Pix used moss or glass?
@@nickkyri6143 You can use them in place of the moss blocks.
You can use flowering azalea leaves as well
@@nickkyri6143 I use it instead of the moss block with the flower on top. It may not sit on top of a hopper however.

Hey Pix!
Diamonds can be found at the max in veins of 8 only right?
Today while strip mining I found a huge vein of 13 diamonds!! And even four more diamonds a couple of blocks later!!
Is it possible or its a glitch?
🤔🤔
There is a very rare chance that your vein of 8 diamonds connected to another vein of 5 diamonds on the chunk border of the neighbouring chunk.
Extremely lucky, but theoretically possible if multiple veins spawned next to one another.
Diamond ore veins have occasionally been larger than 8 blocks before 1.18 already, but now that should actually happen even more often. Each chunk can generate small, medium and large veins, and the large ones can sometimes contain more than 10 ores.

In Bedrock, my bees can’t seem to leave the hive/nest if there is a flower directly in front of it. So my honeycomb ends up being difficult to collect, as it sometimes pops out the front. Just an FYI for anyone out there.
You can substitute the grass block for flowering azalea or flowering azalea leaves to work around that problem!
@@Pixlriffs That’s genius! I didn’t know (but should’ve guessed) that they could collect off those blocks.
@@droppedpasta I used flowering azalea leaves because you can't put the azalea shrub/tree on top of the two outside hoppers. It's an excellent work-around in Bedrock and still be able to keep Pixlriffs design. Awesome build Pix!!! A+
However...I am still having an issue where the honey bottle ends up on top of the dispenser and not getting picked up by the hopper under the bee nest. And sometimes the bees get stuck outside the hive. They may just need more block space to enter/exit the hive consistently.
@@twhy01 Hmm, never had that problem with the honey bottles before. Basically built this same one back in 1.17, though I think there was a solid block on the dispenser, and I was using hopper minecarts.
Fun fact: Technical players complained about the honey comb shearing result and Mojang changed it so instead of three individual items only a single stack of three items are spawned.
In short: Hopper minecarts are slightly overkill for honeycomb farms now, since regular hoppers will be able to do the same thing since that change, as long as you don't point any other hoppers into the hopper. (You can basically use the honey farm design for honey comb as well.)
When was that change made? I've lost honeycomb from farms that just used hoppers before.
@@Pixlriffs Maybe you could use trapdoors instead of the slabs or stairs to prevent the bees from escaping?
@@Pixlriffs As far as I can tell that was fixed as MC-165695 in 1.15.2 pre-release 1. The thing with hoppers is that if you have the hopper line right under the hives (instead of hoppers pointing down, as you did in the honey bottle farm here), hoppers might be in cooldown if they happen to be transporting items from other slices of the farm. Maybe you remember the collection issues from a farm without the downward pointing hopper.
I did my first honey farm last weekend. I remember seeing your past videos on it back in 2019 and the one on the Hardcore series but I decided to try my hand on figuring it out myself this time LOL I completely forgot comparators could read blocks through other solid blocks. I ended up using a repeater at the end of my circuit to power the dispenser. Not terrible, but more expensive than your solution for sure! I have a question though: I did my honey farm on a 45° diagonal (with free range bees). In the end I spaced out the modules because the diagonal made the redstone link in weird ways and I was afraid it was gonna mess up the farm. When you say it's okay if the redstone on the modules touch, you mean only if they are side by side?
Also: I used hoppers on my honeycomb farm and I didn't see any jotting out except for once (in a 12 hive scale production), so I'm wondering how much loss is on having hoppers instead of minecart hoppers...
Nevertheless, thanks for the video! It's always a joy to see you explaining things. 😄
Yes, the redstone only works if it's side-by-side. If you offset them by one block, the power from one module could activate an adjacent module and cause the dispenser to fire before the hive is ready.
7:35 i do suggest a bee breeder , it will guarantee you will have 3/3 , also for singleplayer , you can install minihud mod (download fabric , then download minihud and malilib , it will show you how many bees there are in the hive if you look at it after you select bee count into the mod menu , h+c)
Could place buttons on the top front of the honey farm to fire the dispensers, just to reset it if you ever need to.
I'm just starting a big copper project and gave these a try, but the honey bottle dispenser set up won't put anything in a hopper, it just spits it out sideways or even above or back in the comparator. And they won't stack in the comparator if I try to leave it an open spot, it just fills the one spot with a single bottle or starts failing to collect if I don't keep the bottles in all the slots. I'm so very confused!
I think with the new update on console as of writing bees and flowers can’t occupy the same space. I had to remove the flowers in front of the hive or the bees won’t leave. But my hive has more grass and flowers so it’s not the exact build here.
What's the reasoning behind a hopper minecart under the nest that is sheared and a regular hopper under the one harvested for honey? In both cases, they serve the function of collecting the produce before it's ejected in a random direction, right?. Can the hopper minecart be replaced with a hopper, or is it faster than a regular hopper or something like that? I feel like I'm missing something.
Btw, great video as always!
I'm finally on time for a video!
Nice!
idk how but i swear some instructions are left out of this for the honey farm at the end of video... only because building it while watching, i hiccup every time putting the dispensers down coz they cover where they hive should go in front of the poppies... until i just put an extra line of planks on top where the dispensers connect to. or is it coz the glass at the back where comparators are, are actually two high? confusing tbh but meh i think i figured it :/ ?
A netherite can also use as melee weapon too
Make your old world buyable on bedrock marketplace???
What exactly would be the benefit? It's a Java world, so most of the redstone contraptions would be broken, and even some other Java-specific features wouldn't work.
DOes this tutorial work in bedrock minecraft?
Sort of… the bees won’t exit if there is a flower in front, but just replace the grass block the flower rests on with a flowering azalea or something
Instead of a poppy you can just place Azalea leaves with flower in place of the the moss
Hey Pix 💜
Doing this in 1.19.3 and my farm dispenses empty bottles into the barrel/chest. And sometimes it doesn't even trigger the dispensers at all and the honey just gets stuck in the hive for me to manually get it. Granted, I'm doing this on a multiplayer server so that may be the case, but anyone experiencing the same thing in singleplayer?
because this design is obsolet since month they patch some redstone / hive interaction, especially when a comparator signal is use on hive and go to 1 or more , the comparator didnt update themselve due when the power level of the hive decrease anyway , he always consider himself alimented never update to 0 .
You should look for / try a design with dispenser lock used to maintain update when hive gain / loose power level .
Or simply add a day / night clock to your comp to lock the signal of the hive at night ( no honey level can be gain due to bee's inactivity) and unlock it when day rise as an update , with a chunk loader is barely possible .
The disadvantage on Bedrock Edition is the bees cannot exit the hives when there are flowers directly in front of them.
Would this design work on bedrock if you spaced it out a little more? Thanks!!!
Pix suggested to another comment here from a Bedrock player about that by suggesting using flowering azalea or flowering azalea leaves in place of the glass block.
*see comment thread from Dropped Pasta
Hi pixlriffs, I have a question for you and hopefully you know the solution or someone else who has built the farms. It works for a little bit but then the dispensers fail to work after. I 've done the honeycomb farm on a server and in a single-player and same issues. I followed your tutorial to a T. Could it be the mechanics of the bee hive/ collection have changed?
They haven’t changed. A couple of things could be affecting that - make sure the dispensers still have shears, check the redstone dust hasn’t just stayed powered (and break/replace if it has), and make sure you’re keeping the chunks loaded (and the bees within simulation distance) if you want the farm to operate while you’re doing other stuff in the area.
@@Pixlriffs Thanks! I think I figured out what was wrong with the dispensers in single play I fixed them now and they work. I think I needed to place the beehive last...then took the observer and Redstone down and put it back and it fixed it. As for the server, I think it is a little strange because it is a bedrock/java server I did get it to work a different way for the honeycomb...but I have to place campfires because they get mad when it is sheared and I took out the minecart hopper from underneath and it started to work...so not sure...but it is collecting it now.
I wonder when Pix is going to start giving time lapses. Honestly they seem to be the best features of his videos
Miss them as well. Hopefully soon.
He'll have to make a tutorial on it first. People would ask him how to make the timelapse.
Completely disagree. I don’t care about timelapses and usually I don’t like the music
@@littlebumgorf Noted.
He'll start timelapses once he's getting into larger builds. It's still pretty early on as far as topics and builds go.
Awesome! I love your consistent uploads
Cool
Oml thats crazy
Can anyone tel me why my bees won’t come out?? I can hear them buzzing in there but they won’t come out it’s been 20 mins waiting through day n night
Amazing Video
When are you going to make a video about raids
In an hr here please 🔥
Would the wax collecting method work with honey collecting if you filled the first dispenser slot with a stack of glass bottles and the rest of the slots with bottles of honey? When my personal inventory is full and I collect honey with an empty bottle (from a stack), the bottle of honey spits out to the ground. Not sure if it would work the same way.
The issue, I think, is that there are actually multiple stages the hive goes through before it's ready, and the observer sends a signal on every stage. With shears in the dispenser, this just means that nothing happens when a redstone pulse goes through and the hive isn't full; with honey bottles, however, if a pulse goes through the dispenser and the hive isn't ready, the dispenser will spit out an empty bottle like a dropper would, which is a bit of a waste. The comparator makes sure the honey bottle dispensers _only_ trigger when the hive is ready.
That helps me allot in my bee farms. Will it still work for a bee hive?
Yes, bee hives and nests are functionally identical. The only difference is one is found naturally, and one is crafted by the player.
Isn't that a cruel to keep bees in one block space?!?
They're Minecraft bees. The game doesn't hurt the bees if you keep them in a space like this, they haven't programmed concepts like 'cruelty' or 'neglect' into the game.
If you find it cruel, that's up to you; as I said in the video, you can leave these modules open and the bees will return to the hives on their own. They'll just take longer to do it; and sometimes they'll wander off and get lost on their own, but you'll still get honeycomb sometimes
