I have a cluster of 32 beehives that I'm building into a super-hive with honeycomb as they produce it. I keep repopulating them up to a swarm, but then they wander off. I just found that they all appear to have wandered to the mountain to the NW and the majority are just buzzing around on top of that ridge. Hundreds of bees have accumulated there over the several attempts to repopulate the hive. Screenshots available if it might help.
Edit 3/1/2020: I have since tried the workaround listed here, and enclosed the hive with honey blocks (decorative) and dirt. I then repopulated the bees, some retrieved with leads, and some bred local. At least half of them very quickly are now just stuck against the North and west walls of the enclosure, buzzing away. Screenshot included.
