Total Beelocation
Move a Bee Nest, with 3 Bees inside, using Silk Touch
Overview
Total Beelocation is a task advancement in the Husbandry tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Move a Bee Nest, with 3 Bees inside, using Silk Touch." It branches directly off Bee Our Guest, 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. Total Beelocation was added in Minecraft 1.15 and remains part of the current 1.21 advancement set.
It is rated Medium difficulty on this site: requires some preparation or specific resources. Part of normal gameplay progression. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
In tree terms, Total Beelocation sits second along its line: the full path from the Husbandry root reads Husbandry -> Bee Our Guest -> Total Beelocation. That means 2 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Total Beelocation is one of 26 total advancements in the Husbandry tab. No other advancement shares its parent, so it is the only thing that branches from Bee Our Guest.

Earning Total Beelocation comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Find a bee nest with 3 bees inside (wait for all bees to return at night) and mine it with a Silk Touch enchanted tool.

Tips & Fastest Route

- Bees return to the nest at night and during rain, so harvest then to capture all three.
- Silk Touch keeps the nest intact with the bees stored inside; without it the nest breaks and bees scatter.
- Make sure Bee Our Guest is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Total Beelocation will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Medium difficulty, Total Beelocation is a routine step once you have the prerequisites in hand; no special grinding is usually needed beyond the items the steps call for.
