Check How Many Bees Are in Your Hive
Right-Click the Hive Block
To see exactly how many bees are currently inside a beehive or bee nest without disturbing them, simply right-click on the block. A chat message will appear displaying:
- Number of bees currently occupying the hive
- Age information about each bee inside
- Duration — how long each bee has been inside the hive
Why This Matters
Normally, you'd have no way to know if your hive is full, partially occupied, or empty without forcing the bees out. This mod eliminates guesswork. You can now:
- Decide whether to harvest honey without losing productive bees
- Monitor hive population over time
- Plan when to use campfires or other bee-management techniques
- Avoid accidentally destroying a hive full of bees you didn't know about
This information appears only in your chat — other players won't see it, and the bees remain undisturbed inside their home.
