[MC-160291] Bees leave their nest/hive when it is sheared or used to fill bottles, even there is a campfire below it and it is night time

Even if a campfire exists under a bee nest/hive, the bees will still come out of the hive/nest when used by shearing or filling a glass bottle. These bees are not aggressive toward the player, however, they come out and immediately get to work even if it is night.

Same thing happens when a glass bottle is filled with honey from a nest/hive.

Yes this is a feature from the bees. They come out but they aren't agressive.

Sure, the bees coming out is probably a feature, I don't doubt that in the slightest. The problem, however, is the fact that they get to work regardless of the time of day. At night, they are intended to remain in their nest until the day, but using shears/glass bottles will interrupt that schedule and kick them out, forcing them to work. The bees coming out might be a feature, but the bees getting to work at night is definitely not.

Bees working at night is MC-159515.

@Jasper Gude Source that this is intentional? (other than the wiki which is not an official source)

It also happens to me with the campfire extinguished... can you verify it? :S

Can confirm for 19w36a, cannot reproduce this at night, likely due to the fix of MC-159515.
