The bug
Bees pathfind into the campfires below their hive, and don't pathfind away from the fire when they take damage, and die instead of re-entering beehives.
This only happened when the nest was against a wall, not sure if it is the same for beehives not against walls, or for bees nests.

My hives and nests are not against a wall, they hang from a fence post with a block gap between the bottom of the hive and the fire yet both adult and baby bee's pathfind into the fire and die consistently
I grabbed a nest of Bees using my silk touch. Brought them over to a couple empty hives I had and placed them. I started breeding them which seemed to work. Nut they have been slowly disappearing. They do not appear to anger mobs. So it cant be mobs.
I did notice that the fire I placed under them; they seemed to fly into(which is a logic problem in itself) and hurting themselves. So I took out the camp fires. Tried to keep breeding them... but they still disappeared.
A few things I fear it may be that you need to quick fix:
They are flying into fires or lava and dying... obviously bees should avoid those blocks.
They are flying so far away, they are never coming back. Which would be another Logic problem.
I also noticed they got hurt by berry bushes. Obviously they should be immune to those.
What else could they be getting damaged from? Are they flying into water and drowning? Try to thing of things you have not programed into their logic.
Thank you.

Yeah, there's a seperate ticket about bees not avoiding water, see MC-159502. And they don't drown, the automatically take damage when bees touch water, see also MC-167148.
Cannot reproduce

Is this still an issue?
Also affects adult bees if they pathfind above them, causing them to take damage.
