Entered spawn chunks after a while away to find a hundred or so pollinated bees flying around the area. I have no nearby bee farm they could have escaped, and I couldn't find more than a handful of nearby beehives, not nearly enough to explain all the bees. I do not know what caused this and it has never happened in the 10-odd months I've had this world, only just now.

There is a bug where bees duplicate, the bees leave the nest, but the game still thinks that there are bees in the nest when the chunk is loaded, and duplicate the amount of bees. I couldn't find the bug report for that issue, but it is (somewhat) well known as many people posted on reddit saying that their bee farms are having thousands of bees.
Edit: I found MC-229903 MC-230920 MC-230480 MC-234471 with issues about bees multiplying, but their game is either modified or they didn't provide enough information, so those aren't valid reports.
The top reddit posts about bees multiplying are this and this, the first one is with Optifine and the second one didn't provide an F3 screenshot, so they aren't valid for a bug report either.
There are many other posts about bees multiplying, I see them so often when scrolling through the Minecraft reddit, the recent ones include This one 4 days ago , this one 9 days ago and this one 2 months ago. None of them provides a F3 screenshot, so we don't have enough evidence for a valid bug report
Please provide some additional screenshots or videos of this issue occurring whilst the F3 debug screen is enabled.
