Offspring of nest bees will not enter hives
I tried breeding bees and bringing them to hives, and they would not enter despite having pollen, it being night, and even raining. Instead of entering the hives, they seem to just wander around aimlessly but tend to stay around ~10 blocks of where I un-lead them. One of the offspring, however, actually ended up getting stuck in the air about 12ish blocks up. Animations are still present but that is all. The bee is just hovering in place, while the other is just wandering.
When approaching the stuck bee (and the wandering bee) with a flower, it will become un-stuck, but still will not enter the hive and continues to wander. However, it appears one of the bees get stuck again after a few minutes (I'm not sure if it is the same bee getting stuck or a different one... my bad for not paying close enough attention)... Again, about 12 blocks in the air, but in a different spot (x,z).
This is how to reproduce it:
- Find a naturally generated nest.
- Breed two bees from the nest
- Lead the offspring and attach them to a fence post nearby
- Run ~100 blocks away and set up hives
- Go back to the offspring and lead them to the hive

There are 3 completely empty hives nearby as I stated in the description. They are within 10-20 blocks of all those pictures I took.
This also does not in any way explain why the bees are stuck. I left the game open for an hour and they are stuck and not moving. Please read the entire description before marking as resolved.







Issue 834: This is normal. The bees are coded to wander off after the player not holding a flower.
There's only space in bee hives/nests for three bees at a time. For more bees, you either need another (empty) bee nest, or make a bee hive.
@teamarvv I never said it was an issue- I was simply describing and reporting what was happening in chronological order.
