Bee Our Guest
Use a Campfire to collect Honey from a Beehive using a Bottle without aggravating the Bees
Overview
Bee Our Guest is a task advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Use a Campfire to collect Honey from a Beehive using a Bottle without aggravating the Bees." It branches directly off Husbandry, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Husbandry tab covers advancements related to farming, animal breeding, food, and the natural world. Bee Our Guest was added in Minecraft 1.15 and remains part of the current 1.21 advancement set.
It is rated Easy difficulty on this site: can be completed quickly with minimal resources. Good for beginners. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. One further advancement, Total Beelocation, is gated behind it.
In tree terms, Bee Our Guest sits first along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Bee Our Guest. That means 1 advancement must be completed before this one becomes available, and Bee Our Guest is one of 26 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. It shares its parent with 13 sibling advancements (The Parrots and the Bats, Best Friends Forever, A Seedy Place, Fishy Business, The Cutest Predator, Glow and Behold!, Whatever Floats Your Goat!, Wax On, With Our Powers Combined!, Birthday Song, Planting the Past, Bukkit Bukkit, and Smells Interesting), all of which open from the same point in the tree.
How to Complete Bee Our Guest
Earning Bee Our Guest comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Place a campfire under a bee nest or beehive (within 5 blocks below), then use a glass bottle on the hive when it is full of honey (honey_level 5).
- The smoke calms the bees so they will not attack.
Tips & Fastest Route
Tips & Fastest Route- Fastest route: Put a campfire under a full beehive and bottle the honey while the smoke keeps the bees calm.
- The hive must be at honey level 5 (visibly dripping) before a bottle yields honey.
- Smoke from a campfire within 5 blocks below stops the bees from turning hostile.
- Make sure Husbandry is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Bee Our Guest will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- This is one of the more approachable Husbandry advancements, so it is a good early target while you build toward the harder entries deeper in the branch.
Common Mistakes
Common Mistakes- Bottling without the campfire angers the bees and still works, but the advancement specifically wants the calm, smoke-assisted harvest.
- Remember that Bee Our Guest will not appear as available until Husbandry is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
