The bug

After a player hits a bee and goes to creative, the bee stays hostile even though the player is in Creative. They will also follow the player but do not attack at all (unless if the bee hive or bee nest is broken), unlike evokers, pillagers, iron golems and drowned. (See MC-153697 and MC-146524).

You can use campfires to make them passive.

How to Reproduce

1. Spawn a bee
2. Go to Survival
3. Attack the bee
4. Press F3+N to switch gamemodes to Creative
   → The bees still have red eyes
