I do not know how to recreate this bug but here's all the info I can give.
I breed some bees from my current hives, and brought them over to new hives that are further away for my farm. I later checked on them and found them seemingly "froze" in place. They still had animations but just stayed in one spot, hovering, and not performing any tasks. They have been stuck like this for a while, one even growing up.
Holding a flower near them fixed the issue and they came right to me, and proceeded to perform their tasks once I put the flower away. However, this is temporary. One appears to be stuck again, this time on the ground. The other, wandering about 6 blocks away from a hive, but not performing any tasks. And yes, there are enough hives. I have about 13 in the area with a total of about 5 bees.
After repeating this pattern with the flower, is appears that the bees will have one of those two things happen to them: They either wander around, not going into a hive or perform tasks, or fly for a few seconds, they get "stuck."
Breeding, feeding, and leading do not seem to fix the issue.
This is my first time reporting a bug so I apologize if I missed something or did something wrong. If you notice a mistake and I'm able to fix it, please let me know and I'll happily fix it.
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.

















Can confirm, this happens in 1.18.2.
I bred bees from a naturally spawned nest, put them on leads and attached them to fence posts. After that I ran maybe a 100 or so blocks away, place campfires under 3 hives, brought the baby bees over, and they did not enter, even though they had pollen and it was night.
@teamarvv I never said it was an issue- I was simply describing and reporting what was happening in chronological order.
