Welp, since this isn't getting fixed, I'll just have to keep my bees in greenhouses from now on!

If they were to generate mostly or completely encased inside huge icebergs, this would actually be a cool feature! Having them just randomly floating in the ocean though doesn't make much sense.

Are you sure about that? If it wasn't intended to be able to load old worlds, why doesn't it just say so instead of giving me an option button that doesn't work?

A while back somebody said they were self-assigning this, and I saw their name under "Assignee" but now it's back to "Unassigned." What gives?

I've gotten many emails about new comments here, but when I come to the page they're gone – is a mod deleting them?

Come to think of it, that would explain why my foxes spend so much time upstairs – the staircase leading up is at the NW corner of the house!

My workaround has been to make a huge glass enclosure for my bees; even when they get confused they do eventually find their way back so long as they don't get too far away. Not an ideal solution, but for now it works!

Also noticed they don't pathfind around End Rods, it's like they were with fences before.

Another thing to note, in my world they all seem to wander off to the northwest, which is roughly the direction of the biome where I originally found them. Don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but when I went about 200 blocks NW looking for them, sure enough I found a group of about 20 bees right at the NW boundary of my chunk loading distance. I found none when looking in other directions.

In 1.15, they sometimes do the animation, and sometimes just float there above the flower, making me wonder if their AI froze.

Can confirm this happens on 1.15.

I can confirm this issue on 1.15. I have a large collection of bees and hives, and as soon as the sun comes up, most of them pop out of the hive and immediately start fighting over the flowers closest to the door, instead of spreading out over the huge field of flowers I planted for them. While this issue might be funny for two bees fighting over one flower, it makes a large honey/comb-producing plantation rather inefficient, as you have to keep waiting for each bee to individually give up and move to another flower.

I tried to bring flowers right up to the hive; free delivery of nectar right to your doorstep! The bees weren't going for it though. XD

Here's a video of the bees popping out and immediately back into the nests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzkDdvquWWY Hope this is helpful. :3

Still in 1.14.3; my foxes all dove in and drowned and now I'm sad. 😞
