I leashed a bee from a bee nest, and travelled many chunks to a new beehive. I trapped the bee in an area with the beehive, and unleashed it. The bee just sinks to the bottom of the bee area. All faces of the beehive are available. There are two flowers in the bee area. The bee has collected pollen (speckled rear). Several in-game days have passed.

I understand there is currently no way to determine the number of bees in a beehive in Minecraft. However, I would guess, none; I placed the beehive, and am pretty sure no bees snuck in while I had my back turned.
There are at least 2 ways that I can think of.
Break the hive in Survival without Silk Touch. This will make all the bees come out and attack you. (If it is one of the naturally generated hives and not the crafted ones, you will lose the hive.)
Use F3+I while looking at the hive, and then paste into a command block or a text editor on your computer. The command will include the data for each bee that is in the hive.

Thanks for the tip: F3+I

This is the result, show zero bees:
/setblock 286 111 -225 minecraft:beehive[facing=south,honey_level=0]{Bees:[]}
FYI, Minecraft Version is now "1.18 Pre-1"
...and the bee is now working as expected:
/setblock 286 111 -225 minecraft:beehive[facing=south,honey_level=2]{Bees:[],FlowerPos:{X:286,Y:111,Z:-224}}
/setblock 286 111 -225 minecraft:beehive[facing=south,honey_level=2]{Bees:[{EntityData:{AbsorptionAmount:0.0f,Age:0,AngerTime:0,Attributes:[{Base:0.30000001192092896d,Name:"minecraft:generic.movement_speed"}],FlowerPos:{X:286,Y:110,Z:-224},ForcedAge:0,HasNectar:1b,HasStung:0b,Health:10.0f,InLove:0,Invulnerable:0b,LoveCause:[I;256722146,505497288,-1744277899,-1628503675],PersistenceRequired:0b,id:"minecraft:bee"},MinOccupationTicks:2400,TicksInHive:731}],FlowerPos:{X:286,Y:110,Z:-224}}
Whoo-hoo!
Thanks everyone.

How many bees are in the hive currently
