Beekeeper Villagers and bee suits

Seems like a natural addition to go with it considering they should or do help with farming. Trading honey or hives or bee suits {which could be just enchanted armor idk}

    The bee hive could be their workstation and they could trade honey bottles, honeycomb, crystallised honey (see wiki), wax block (see wiki too), campfires, bee nests and bee hives. Love this idea!

    Seems like a good idea! Beekeeper Villagers will lighten the village. Bees roaming around and having a villager harvest the hive in a Beekeeper suit with make the village better! Maybe they can "Trade" Honey bottles or honeycomb!

    Hi, I had a similar idea. What do you think about this?

    Could these bee possible? Anyway, I was thinking these guys would be a cool addition. Their workstation would be the beehive of course and they could be one of two concepts.

    1)Assistance with the farmers.

    They could tend to the bees so that they would pollinate and assist the village farms that already exist.

    2)Honeycomb/Honey Bottle Farmer

    They could have maybe a flower area where the bees would pollinate and then bring back the nectar to the hive. When the villager detects that the Beehive is at Honey Level 5 it would collect the honeycombs with shears.

    (Note: Only in the normal Villager working hours.)

    Trades: These would maybe bee some of their trades.

    Honeycombs, Honey Bottles, Empty Bottles, Shears

    Crystallised Honey? Wax Blocks? If they are added to the game/

    These guys would probably wear some kind of Beekeeper Suit. It would bee pretty cool.

    Thanks for reading anyway, and have a good day. What do you think?

    PS. Sorry for all the puns

    How about instead of adding a whole new set of armor called a 'bee suit", you could trade with them to enchant your leather armor. There should be a new enchantment only for leather armor that makes you immune to poison. Because bee stings poison you. So, yeah. That would be AWESOME.

    Take a chain mail armor piece in a crafting bench and surround it with leather, this way, if all 4 pieces are worn, the bees won't attack you.

    I really do hope this idea gets announced! Seems like a good idea to still focus on new things like the bees but also go back to old updates such as village and pillage! There’s still a lot of potential of going back in updates! Would it look like the structure I built in the picture?

    Came on to post this idea as well, beekeepers suit should have to craft it with white wool, no armour value against normal attacks but protects against bees

    And add a new building for the beekeeper... some sort of specific job housing for a villager beekeper? Similarily to how fletchers have their own specific house have a specific house for a beekeeper

    Seems to me that they should be trading in Honey based product and flowers. As well as tending to the hives and auto harvesting honey from them, which they would distribute to other villagers.

    Beekeeper is very good ideas.

    New villager texture and new trade is good.

    I dont care about my health, I have a enchanted diamond armor, but if a bee stinks you, it dies and if all the bees stink you it would difficult to find another bees and with the bee suit the bees won't die!

    They could trade: honey combs, hives, bottled honey, glass jars, and flowers. Each one could sell a couple different types of flowers!

    I was going to suggest this! I feel like without this the Buzzy Bees update just isn't complete. I have my fingers crossed for 1.17 or 1.18

    I have an old survival world I've been building since before the bee launch. Can we get some hives for sale from the trader? Something to get starter for a few emeralds?

    Some casual beekeeper clothes to wear for both player and villager would be super cool.

    The bee should not attack you when wearing this clothes, whether it's a full outfit or just a beekeeper hat.

    Great idea.

    They should use the beehive as their workstation and collect honey once a day.

    They should not sell us honey bottles and honeycomb as it would make bee farm useless. But they could buy them and sell unique bee related items.

    Bee suits seem cool, maybe with poison resistance but very low protection ad armor values

    For all of you suggesting poison resistance, I suggest that with either new armor or enchantment, the bee cannot sting you at all, therefore saving the bee and the player. I also think that beekeeper villagers should sell honey blocks, but not cheaply. Similar to how librarians sell bookshelves for 9 emeralds and buy four books for 1 emerald. So maybe sell a honey block for ~16 emeralds, while the villager buys 2 honey bottles for 1 emerald, therefore making it impossible to make a profit of honey just like the librarian with books.
