The bee nests/hives won't stack because the ticks_in_hive NBT data is different for each nest, depending on how quickly you place/break each individual hive block:

As shown, these two nests were placed from the same original hive I copied, but have slightly different values. It would be expected they don't stack to avoid data loss.
also happens in 1.16.4, could be related to MC-162977
