Bees are small neutral mobs.
Spawning
Natural generation
Bees spawn on grass blocks at light levels of 9 or more with at least 2 block space above. They often spawn in groups of 4 during world generation.
Drops
Bees have no drops other than 1–3 
experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
Behavior
Bees often fly and wander around aimlessly, buzzing occasionally. Unlike other insects, bees are neutral and they will attack the player if provoked.
When attacked, a bee's buzz will sound more aggressive, and they will chase the player, attacking them by touch. After being provoked, they will become neutral again after a period of time and stop attacking. Bees will only attack on Easy difficulty or higher.
Like butterflies, bees will sometimes follow players holding flowers.
