I tried breeding bees and bringing them to hives, and they would not enter despite having pollen, it being night, and even raining. Instead of entering the hives, they seem to just wander around aimlessly but tend to stay around ~10 blocks of where I un-lead them. One of the offspring, however, actually ended up getting stuck in the air about 12ish blocks up. Animations are still present but that is all. The bee is just hovering in place, while the other is just wandering.
When approaching the stuck bee (and the wandering bee) with a flower, it will become un-stuck, but still will not enter the hive and continues to wander. However, it appears one of the bees get stuck again after a few minutes (I'm not sure if it is the same bee getting stuck or a different one... my bad for not paying close enough attention)... Again, about 12 blocks in the air, but in a different spot (x,z).
This is how to reproduce it:
Find a naturally generated nest.
Breed two bees from the nest
Lead the offspring and attach them to a fence post nearby
Run ~100 blocks away and set up hives
Go back to the offspring and lead them to the hive
Pictures
831 - Bee is stuck in the air, not moving from it's position; bees are not entering the hives, despite having pollen, it being night, and raining
832 - Both the stuck and wandering bee react to flower, and the stuck bee is not longer stuck
834 - Both bees continue to wander after no longer holding a flower
835 - One bee gets stuck again after a few minutes preceding letting go of the flower (834)
UPDATE: 836 - After further waiting, both bees have now become stuck.
UPDATE 2: 837 - One spontaneously became un-stuck a while later, but still not entering hive
UPDATE 3: 838 - After a while, both bees are now stuck and have not become unstuck for quite a while

There's only space in bee hives/nests for three bees at a time. For more bees, you either need another (empty) bee nest, or make a bee hive.
@teamarvv I never said it was an issue- I was simply describing and reporting what was happening in chronological order.
@violine1101
There are 3 completely empty hives nearby as I stated in the description. They are within 10-20 blocks of all those pictures I took.
This also does not in any way explain why the bees are stuck. I left the game open for an hour and they are stuck and not moving. Please read the entire description before marking as resolved.
Issue 834: This is normal. The bees are coded to wander off after the player not holding a flower.
