The bug
When it rains, bees are going back into their hives, which is normal. However, in some biomes, like the savanna biome, it never rains, the sky gets darker but there is no rain falling.
When it is raining, bees in these biomes will also go into their hive and hide from the rain. But at their location, it is not raining.

Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w16b. Here's a code analysis of this issue.
Code Analysis:
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.18.2 using MCP-Reborn.
net.minecraft.world.entity.animal.Bee.java
public class Bee extends Animal implements NeutralMob, FlyingAnimal {
...
boolean wantsToEnterHive() {
if (this.stayOutOfHiveCountdown <= 0 && !this.beePollinateGoal.isPollinating() && !this.hasStung() && this.getTarget() == null) {
boolean flag = this.isTiredOfLookingForNectar() || this.level.isRaining() || this.level.isNight() || this.hasNectar();
return flag && !this.isHiveNearFire();
} else {
return false;
}
}
...If we look at the above class, we can see that the code calls the wantsToEnterHive() method if it's raining in the world, regardless of the biome where the bee's hive/nest is located in. Because of this, when it's raining and bees are in non-precipitation biomes, they will enter their hive/nest.
