I didn't have to do the complicated blood tests today but I will soon.

My Minecraft bees absconded so I built a glass hothouse and trapped the new ones inside. I proceeded to watch the little buggers clip through the glass and escape multiple times (retrieving them with leads)

Edit: Found a missing glass block in the ceiling which I've patched. But it looked like the bee popped out the side, and the wiki says that they can clip through sometimes. I'm hoping that's fixed the issue. I took away the dandelion in there and will see if they can pollinate the glowberries without anything else there, and if that results in honey.

Probably not since it's probably a crop... I put the dandelion back so the berries hopefully get pollinated flying between the flower and the hive. They're making honey now but not pollinating the berries

Ok... they're pollinating like one or two of the berries. I could make a more efficient setup but cbf
