Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Beehive, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.

Metal FragmentsEach swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the Beehive gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Sheet Metal, 225 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Sheet Metal, 180 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Sheet Metal, 150 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Sheet Metal, 120 Wood |
The Beehive breaks down into Sheet Metal and Wood.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. A percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Beehive is a deployable in the Construction category (item ID #184516676, console shortname beehive). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
Hand made beehive, place a nucleus inside to raise your own bees and produce honeycomb. Happy bees will make honeycomb more quickly.
Crafting Beehive in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Placed structures heal with a Hammer using raw materials from your inventory.
The Beehive is one of the 181 deployables; Rust classifies it under the Construction inventory category.
When choosing between Beehive and related construction in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 60-scrap tech tree path and save 45 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beehive | Construction | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 60 path | Not recyclable |
| Drop Box | Deployables | 5 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 210 path | Not recyclable |
| Portrait Photo Frame | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Clump of Latex Balloons | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

The Beehive has 300 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 184516676 across 61 construction, while server admins spawn it via inventory.giveid 184516676 1 or queue crafts with craft.add 0 184516676 1 across 61 published Construction entries.
The Beehive is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 300 Wood and 1 Sheet Metal, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Sheet Metal must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Beehive drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Sunken Chest (1.1% chance), Normal Crate (0.44% chance), and Wagon Normal Crate (0.44% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Beehive recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of a Sheet Metal and 150 Wood. Full material recovery applies to an undamaged copy, whereas worn items return proportionally fewer resources based on their remaining condition bar when shredded.
The Beehive takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Construction catalog with item ID 184516676 alongside 60 related construction, stacking to 1 unit per slot, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 184516676 1.
The Beehive repairs in Rust once placed with a Hammer for up to 150 Wood and 101 Metal Fragments at full wear (6 swings). Hammer repairs draw materials straight from your inventory with zero maximum-health penalty, provided the placed object has not taken damage within the last 30 seconds.
Blueprint progression for Beehive at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 60 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap. It belongs to the Construction category under numeric ID 184516676 across 61 construction.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Beehive despawns after 5 minutes by default. Moving it into a storage box, locker, or player inventory immediately cancels the ground despawn countdown, which the server assigns by item rarity tier to prevent dropped loot from lagging active worlds.
The Beehive has 32-bit signed item ID 184516676 and shortname beehive in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Construction category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Beehive in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give beehive 1 or inventory.giveid 184516676 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
