Bee hives not spawning on player-grown trees in final 1.15.2 release

I upgraded my 1.14.4 world to 1.15.2 (final release version) earlier this year and have become interested in trying out the new bee feature.

Problem is finding the little buzzers and I read on the Minecraft wiki that trees planted by the player have a 5% chance of spawning a bee nest. 

But I've had no luck with this and feel like I am wasting bonemeal and time. 

I have also read in reddit and youtube comments that this was a one-off feature from the snapshots/pre-release versions that got removed from the final 1.15.2 release?

If this is true, I may be left with either exploring unloaded chunks in my world or just spawning it in my village via creative mode.

Hoping to get some clarification and closure on this 🙂

EDIT: I tried it out in a creative world and caused it to happen and when I returned to my regular survival world and planted a tree near a flower, a bee nest spawned. Now I have a nice group of bees!
