I've encountered this problem too. It also seems to happen if I hold a honey bottle around the bees, whether or not I just filled it. Sometimes (but only about 10% of the time) it seems to happen when I stop holding a flower and the bees stop following me.

This is a big problem when your hive is near the ocean. The bees fly out to sea and drown (which is a different issue: MC-159502, but the two are especially bad together).
