The beehive is crafted from treated lumber, which is made from soaking lumber in olive oil.

You do not have to find bees. Instead, you attract them. Do this by placing a beehive and placing flowers around it. Beehives will check a cube extending one block above and below, as well as four blocks to each side. You can substitute flowers with flowerpots, or greenhouses devices like planters. You know when a beehive has attracted bees due to the generated particle effect.

Beehives will produce roughly every 3 days, as long as it is either outside with a daily temperature of at least 10 degrees, or is in a valid greenhouse. This means that you can place a beehive in a greenhouse and feed it off of the planters.

To harvest from a beehive, either right click on it to get honey, or right click with a knife to get honeycomb. Honey is a sugar substitute. Honeycombs have no current use.

When you harvest from a beehive, make sure it's at night, or there is a firepit placed either directly below or down one and to the side. Otherwise you will get swarmed. When you have the swarm effect, run underwater to avoid taking damage.
