In my playthrough, I've gotten rather a lot of bee cages in chest loot drops -- more than I'll ever need.

Would it be possible to add a loot drop chance weight for bee cages?

it's possible to override the loot modifier with a datapack

while it does not have support for changing the chance (50%) you can remove some of the chests it spawns in

maybe I'll move the chance to the json file so it can be overwritten too some time in the future
