Can anyone confirm if the passengers of a bee disappear as well as that bee?
Im currently making a datapack to hopefully "fix" this issue using a passenger to detect if the bee it is on doesnt exist or not and respawning the bee if it despawns unnaturally (pack requested by someone who posted this exact issue in a minecraft forum).
I mean do mobs like piglins attack other entities (e.g. hoglins) on their team, because it seems in the comments you've only tested it with goats
Have you guys tested with with other entities?
Still present in 1.16.5
Speaking of that datapack, Ive finished making it (after a few days of work put into it beforehand)
It should theoretically fix this bug by replacing normal bee entities with bees having an invisible (marker) passenger. When the bee unnaturally disappears, if the bug doesnt get rid of the bee's passenger as well, a replacement bee will spawn (as of right now, retains its name).
