Bees will not come out of a hive if it is placed over a campfire

If you shear the hives or break them without silk touch, do the bees come out? (MCPE-152593) You may want to make a backup copy of the world before trying this.

Interesting.  Both hives were facing front (holes at the front) with a wall behind them.  I broke one without silk touch and 3 angry bees came out.  I broke the other with silk touch and placed it in the middle of the room without walls touching, and 3 bees popped out. 

I made another duplicate of the world and silk touched both hives and placed one with a wall on its left and one with a wall on its right.  Bees came out of both.  Then I placed them with their front covered by a wall and, as expected, they did not come out.  I put them back in their original position and they came out-as if they had now been reset and working properly. 

However, I started this journey after I placed them with campfires under them and no bees, then took the campfires away but still no bees.  Perhaps the campfires locked them in their hives and, even when I took the campfires away (which I did without removing the hive) the bees were still in a locked state?

So I started again and placed them on campfires.  No bees.  Broke the campfires under them.  No bees.  Broke the hives and replaced them in the same spot, bees came out.  So it seems it's an interaction with the campfire.  Thanks for your questions which led me to testing!

Ok, I did one final test.  I placed the campfire after I placed the beehive.  No change, bees still did not come out.  Breaking the fire stick did but release the bees but silk touching and replacing the beehive released the bees again.

I have been experiencing this as well it has been happening for quite a while I have tried again today and gotten a total of 4 bees and they have all disappeared
