When exiting the beehive/bee nest after the night, bees will be stuck in the block directly in front of the beehive entrance. As far as I know, up to three bees can be stuck in the same block. They only begin searching for flowers after pushing them out of the block.

As a workaround, try putting 1 block of air space between the campfire and hive. Having a crop in front of the hive doesn't seem to matter.
