How to obtain a Beehive?

How does a Beehive work?
A beehive will allow bees to make honey similar to how a beehive functions. Bee can be found around these blocks and will bring pollen from flowers to the hive in order to produce honey. This will gradually fill up the beehive with honey in supplements of 1-5, at level 5 the hive’s texture will change and the players can now collect the honey.
To safely collect the honey from a beehive you will need to place a campfire below it, this will force the bees to leave the hive and you can harvest the honey without aggravating the bees.
