A player standing near a Bee Hive in the Underground Jungle.

The Bee Hive is a natural trap which spawns over time under Jungle grass ceilings of the Jungle and Underground Jungle. When a Bee Hive is hit, it falls to the ground, breaking upon impact and releasing 2–5 Bees. It can be crafted and placed manually.

Notes

• At least 2 Bees will be spawned. There are three independent 1/3 (33.33%) chances to increase this number by 1, resulting in a maximum possible number of Bees of 5. The following table visualizes the number of Bees and the respective chances:

#	Chance
2	8/27 (29.63%)
3	12/27 (44.44%)
4	6/27 (22.22%)
5	1/27 (3.7%)

On average, 3 Bees will be spawned.

• A Bee Hive will only spawn Bees when there are less than 100 NPCs existing in the world (e.g. without any other enemies, friendly NPCs, critters, etc., a maximum of 100 Bees can be spawned from the Bee Hive).
• If the Bee Hive falls into water, it will not release any Bees.
  • Regardless, Bee Hives can spawn in water.
• Since the Bees are spawned at the point of impact with the ground, a long fall can put them far enough from the player to be instantly despawned.
• A Bee Hive cannot be retrieved once placed, as hitting it with a pickaxe or drill, which would otherwise break the tile and drop an item, causes it to fall and break.
• The Bee Hive has the ability to roll before being destroyed. However, it does not deal damage to the player on contact.
• Bee Hives have a chance to drop upon shaking a Jungle tree. They will drop as projectiles that will break, not as collectible items.
