Bee Hive Box Interface

The only perk of using a bee box over a bee hive is that you can pick it up and move it. Thats great but it could do a little more. It should have it's own interface when you right click it with an empty hand and here is what I think it should show.

 

Bee Population: It shows how many bees call this specific hive home.

Honey Level: It would show a progress bar indicating the level of honey.

Honeycomb Availability: It will show whether a honeycomb can be harvested or not.

Crops in Range: It will show how many crops are in range.

Flowers in Range: It will show how many flowers are in range.

 

Visual Changes (KKiss11's Suggestion)

When you interact with the bee hive box, the lid disappears similar to the barrel when opened. It looks full of honey or empty depending on whether it has honey to collect or not.

 

Sounds

When interacting with the hive box's interface, it should have a cracking sound and the sound of wood sliding against wood. It would be a cracking sound because the bees make honey combs on the lid and bee glue around it? I don't know the proper terminology.

    Great idea! However a few things might be altered.

    The crops and flowers in range feels more like part of a mod, not in vanilla minecraft.

    Technically, in bee hives, there are frames on which the bees make their comb. The wax is attached to individual frames, rather than the lid, so it wouldn't make a cracking noise, but more one similar to the barrel noise already in minecraft.
