Beenests Don't Spawn In 1.17

Be hive or bee nest? Bee hive is the one you craft, bee nest is the one that spawns into world, are you checking in flower biomes, that is where bee nests normally spawn. You can also use a bitch tree farm with flowers next to the saplings and as the trees grow, you have a 5% chance of a nest spawning.. I usually go with farms spaced 3 north, 1 east apart from each other in rows 3 spaces east/west and one space either north or south.. it makes diagonal rows.. with the flowers placed to north side of each sapling.. doing 20/30 trees, you usually will spawn 1 or 2 nests on the first growth of all the trees, but 2nd growth (after chopping and replanting sapling) will usually result in a nest spawning.

This is invalid. World generation has actually slightly shifted around in 1.17. Dungeons, for instance, are no longer in the same spots. Bee Nests still do generate naturally; I've seen people opening up random seeds and finding them. Don't expect Seeds to be exactly the same after each update. Small changes like this happen almost always.

I created a world today through xbox one and went hunting the bee nests, went through 2 flower forests and I didn't find anything bee...

it may have changed the world generation, but bee nest is much rarer than before

Confirmed in 1.17.0 Win10.

I created a new creative world with the same seed as my survival world so I could go looking for some bees because I've never seen any (it's a very old world). I used a command, execute @e[type=bee] ~~~ tp ~~~ to show me coordinates for any within my ticking area. I tried this in a forest first with no luck, so I tried a bigger forest. Still no luck.

Next I went to a huge birch forest and tried a dozen times near flower clusters. Still no bees. Then I tried a big sunflower plain, still no bees.

I was starting to worry that this was a bug, so I went to the largest flower forest I know of (it's huge!) and tried a bunch of times surrounded by flowers with a few trees nearby. No bees. That's when I gave up and came looking for a bug report.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a world with seed -1147845945, set to Creative. Open it.

2. Teleport to one of the biomes given in the table below.

3. Issue the command {{execute @e[type=bee] ~~~ tp ~~~.

4. Observe that the response is "No targets matched selector".

5. Keep trying different positions in the biome or in a different biome until you are convinced.

Expected result:
Within about 20 tries, you should find a bee and the response should tell you where it is.

Actual result:
No bees are found no matter how many times you try.

@unknown repeated my testing on my world seed and found a bee nest at coordinates -2678 65 -707. The reason I didn't find it was that a command cannot detect bees that are inside a nest or beehive, and in this case they were trapped inside the nest because the nest generated with the opening against a tree trunk. (We have had reports of that happening but weren't able to reproduce it until now.)

I am therefore withdrawing my confirmation and resolving this report as "Can't Reproduce".

I came here looking for the same bug. To reproduce, try loading the Caves and Cliffs Data pack that came with original 1.17. I loaded our world fresh with that data pack not long after 1.17's release and hadn't found a single bee nest. I planted at least 300-400 birch trees with flowers nearby and nothing. I just unloaded that data pack and planted a row of six trees and two of them had bee nests.

bruh that is bedrock
