LEGO Minecraft set 21241, The Bee Cottage, depicts a bee-inspired cottage in the block-based world of the game. Released in 2023, it belongs to the Minecraft theme and contains 254 pieces for a small house and farm-style scene.

The Bee Cottage is part of the LEGO Minecraft range, which turns the game’s buildings, creatures and familiar situations into brick-built models. This set focuses on a bee-themed dwelling, presented as a compact scene that matches the square, simplified visual language associated with Minecraft.

The build creates a cottage with its immediate surroundings, suggesting a farm and a habitable structure.

This model suits builders who want a recognizable Minecraft setting that can stand alone or connect visually with a village, farm or natural area. It works for story-based play, small display arrangements or as a themed addition to a LEGO Minecraft collection focused on creatures, houses and environmental builds.
