Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Bee Grenade, 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.
What the Bee Grenade gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 75% Beehive Nucleus, 22 + 50% Cloth |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 60% Beehive Nucleus, 18 Cloth |
| Green recycler | 50% | 50% Beehive Nucleus, 15 Cloth |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 40% Beehive Nucleus, 12 Cloth |
The Bee Grenade breaks down into Beehive Nucleus and Cloth.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 3 goes through in 3 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “22 + 50%” means 22 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
One item gives back Bee Grenade in a recycler
| Item | Red recycler | Green recycler (powered) | Green recycler | Yellow recycler |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Bee Catapult Bomb | 1 + 50% | 1 + 20% | 1 | 80% |
What one of each item gives back in Bee Grenade, in perfect condition, most first by the green recycler’s figure. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Bee Grenade is a explosive in the Weapons category (item ID #1168916338, console shortname grenade.bee). In active play, it follows standard server rules for explosive gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage stacks up to 3 units per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A fragile glass jar full of bees. Breaking upon impact, the bees will find the nearest player to attack. Careful where you throw it!
Crafting Bee Grenade in Rust takes 10 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). Equipped and stored units carry no durability wear bar.
The Bee Grenade goes into the Bee Catapult Bomb.
The Bee Grenade is one of the 9 explosives; Rust classifies it under the Weapons inventory category.
When choosing between Bee Grenade and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 75-scrap tech tree path and save 60 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bee Grenade | Weapons | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 75 path | Not recyclable |
| F1 Grenade | Weapons | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 450 path | Not recyclable |
| Smoke Grenade | Tools | 3 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 30 node / 840 path | Not recyclable |
| Beancan Grenade | Weapons | 4 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 450 path | Not recyclable |

The Bee Grenade is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 1 Beehive Nucleus and 30 Cloth, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Players smelt raw ores in a furnace and gather required components from monument crates before queuing the craft at their workbench.
The Bee Grenade 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 Bee Grenade recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into a 50% chance of a Beehive Nucleus and 15 Cloth. Monument green recyclers shred items one unit at a time on fast radtown cycles, whereas safe-zone yellow units trade lower material recovery for peacekeeper protection.
In Rust, the Bee Grenade belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID 1168916338 (shortname grenade.bee) and stacks to 3 units per slot with a 5 minutes ground despawn timer across 85 published Weapons entries. It goes into one recipe, the Bee Catapult Bomb.
The Bee Grenade takes 10 seconds to craft, down to 2.5 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Weapons catalog with item ID 1168916338 alongside 84 related weapons, with F1 console command inventory.giveid 1168916338 3 across 85 published Weapons entries.

Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Bee Grenade despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Bee Grenade stacks to 3 per slot in Rust. Players can split a pile in half with middle-click drag or move a custom quantity with Shift-click drag across inventory slots, storage boxes, and the Tool Cupboard, while dropped copies despawn after 5 minutes under the Weapons category (item ID 1168916338).
The Bee Grenade has 32-bit signed item ID 1168916338 and shortname grenade.bee in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Weapons category (stack limit 3 units per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Bee Grenade in the F1 developer console with inventory.give grenade.bee 3 or inventory.giveid 1168916338 3 for 3 units. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
