The hive doesn't get the honey like the nest, stays at zero no matter how much bees work.
To reproduce
Place some bee hives
Spawn some bees
Place some flowers
Wait for the bees to work in the hive
Wait for the bees to come out of the bee hive

Hmm, thinking about it, the hive I checked was a bee nest... maybe only bee nests can increase their level? Needs to be checked!
I should really read the ticket completely before judging. Whoops, my bad.
But I've tested a little bit more and that exactly appears to be the issue.
I have confirmed this issue on a server with several friends. @violine1101 may be right that the coordinates of the home hive aren't updating. We found several naturally spawned bees in survival and used flowers to guide them to our base (where we placed a beehive). We then destroyed the original naturally spawned bee nests just in case. Waited for a while and watched at least 5 bees enter/exit the hive with pollen and the honey level (as seen on the F3 debug menu) is still 0.
I also experienced this issue, but for me it only doesn't increase if I'm in a server, it works just fine in a single player world for me, and it also doesn't increase even if I'm using a bee nset
In that case, please create new ticket about that.
I have this issue with both hives and nests. I have tried on both survival and creative worlds to see if the issue is consistent. I have seen bees pollenate and return to the nest without updating the honey level several times. I have also tried to delete the game data and re-dowload the game to see if there would be any changes, but no.
I ran some tests with bee nests and bee hives, nine each. None of the hives filled but only two of the nests filled.
But nests can fill up. Hives cannot. Maybe what you're experiencing is that bees do not claim your empty hives, see MC-159418.
I can confirm this issue too...It's happening in my world on the latest snapshot 19w34a for Minecraft 1.15. I've been watching my Bee farm on my main world and i've realised that the Bee Hive (the ones that you can craft) don't fill up with honey at all, but the Bee Nests (the ones that natturaly spawn) are getting filled fast because i have like 7-8 bees and they work the same on each Bee hive and Bee Nest. I currently have 1 bee nest and 2 bee hives and those 2 bee hives we're never filled. Mojang...please fix.
Hmm... I saw bees going into each and every nest. I'll try the experiment again.
Can confirm. I have sat and monitored a bee hive I crafted for an hour, to no avail. The bees, despite exiting and entering with pollen and working for some time, have not produced any honey whatsoever. Meanwhile, a nest a distance away has produced multiple lots of honey and comb, which I have gone and gathered.
I'm having the same problem. I have several hives and bees have been using them. They've got flowers to harvest pollen from nearby. Even though they're using the hives, they don't fill up.
Confirmed in the latest snapshot 19w35a.
I can confirm this as well... I tested it in both survival and creative, on single-player worlds, LAN servers, and online servers. The bees themselves treat the beehive exactly the same way as a bee nest; the only difference is that the beehive honey_level stat doesn't change when the bee leaves the block.
it's back in java 1.15.1 Honey level in bee nest does not increase.
If you think the bug is happening again, please create a new bug report.

I'm unable to reproduce this; however, I have discovered MC-159418 while testing this. That might be a factor.
I believe that there are some RNG elements in there as well, so maybe not every time a bee works in the hive the level is increased.
At least I have a hive that I know was level 0 and I haven't done anything about, and now it's at level 5.
