Mud floor honey farm

A compact honey farm of eight bee hives in a row, designed by twcpu and rebuilt here by moretingz. Each hive sits over mud with a dispenser in front holding glass bottles, and a comparator reads the honey level so the dispenser bottles the honey the moment the hive fills. The mud is the trick: hoppers pull items straight through it where a solid block would block them, so the bottles drop into the collection line and run to two chests. A sticky piston per module cuts the redstone signal so the dispensers fire once instead of looping. Flowers in front keep the bees working, and the whole row fits in a small footprint you can build in the Nether or the End.

• Fill every dispenser slot with glass bottles or nothing gets collected at all, this is the single most upvoted comment on the video. BrettRebman adds that it does not have to be full stacks, you just cannot leave an empty slot for the honey bottle to be pulled back into, so nine partial stacks or a mix of bottles and shears works too.
• BbomHKT counts 4,608 glass bottles to fill all eight dispensers for a bottles only build.
• If you build this in the End, put blocks under the glass covering the mud. Endermen pick the mud up and every bee escapes, which happened to haaziqr and mohakhaldi9509.
• If your bees suffocate, add 8 more mud and build the floor out so they have room to move.
• In the Nether and the End the bees sometimes never leave their hives. wibbles logs out with the chunk loaded and they all pop out when he logs back in.
• adrianantonioperezurias5717 fixed honey bottles escaping on 1.21.10 by swapping the walls for glass or another block.
