I do not know how to recreate this bug but here's all the info I can give.
I breed some bees from my current hives, and brought them over to new hives that are further away for my farm. I later checked on them and found them seemingly "froze" in place. They still had animations but just stayed in one spot, hovering, and not performing any tasks. They have been stuck like this for a while, one even growing up.
Holding a flower near them fixed the issue and they came right to me, and proceeded to perform their tasks once I put the flower away. However, this is temporary. One appears to be stuck again, this time on the ground. The other, wandering about 6 blocks away from a hive, but not performing any tasks. And yes, there are enough hives. I have about 13 in the area with a total of about 5 bees.
After repeating this pattern with the flower, is appears that the bees will have one of those two things happen to them: They either wander around, not going into a hive or perform tasks, or fly for a few seconds, they get "stuck."
Breeding, feeding, and leading do not seem to fix the issue.
This is my first time reporting a bug so I apologize if I missed something or did something wrong. If you notice a mistake and I'm able to fix it, please let me know and I'll happily fix it.
Thank you for your report!
