In celebration of Pride, we’re releasing a Marketplace add-on based on the ultimate community: bee colonies! As humans, we depend on bees to pollinate the plants that feed us and sustain life as we know it. But what makes bees remarkable isn’t just how indispensable they are to us – it's the strength of their communities. They work together, huddling for warmth in winter and linking their limbs to build honeycomb. And when they find a nice patch of flowers, forager bees fly back to their hive and perform a waggle dance to direct their siblings to that sweet, sweet pollen!

Colorful Minecraft bees gather around flowers and a decorative beehive beside a river, with mountains rising in the background.Inspired by Pride and the bees’ perfectly attuned sense of togetherness, we decided to bring some diversity into Minecraft’s bee colonies with Hive of Harmony! In this free add-on, you can build and grow a beehive that reflects your identity and colors.
All you have to do to assign new colors to a bee is crouch and feed it a specific flower and it’ll turn into a Pride bee. These bees aren’t just colorful, though – having multiple Pride bees in a hive will grant it specific advantages, making it more productive. To build a Harmony Hive, you need at least 5 different Pride bee variants.

Rainbow-themed beehives stand beside a thriving crop field while colorful bees buzz overhead under a bright daytime sky.Crops around a Harmony Hive will grow twice as fast, boosted by the strength of the bee colony. Try and see what happens once you have over 10 variants of Pride bees in your hive! And keep an eye out for the powerful Ally Queen bee, which spawns randomly in Harmony Hives. And if having colorful bees wasn't enough, you can craft three variants of Pride flags to decorate your world!
