Bees and hive don't spawn naturally when new world is created for the first time.

Step 1. create a new world/seed

step 2. look for bees ( most likely wont find any)

Over all: bees are extremely rare to find.

in 40 world /seeds all different ive only seen 1 bee hive with 1 bee in it

As of Hot fix 1.17.2 , bees still are still extremely rare.

would expect to find bees a little bit easier
