This is not a bug. It is by design. Vanilla bees don’t spawn the same way as other passive mobs do since they only spawn as a result of being preloaded in the nests generated on trees.

Our bees however can spawn in world like passive mobs. As such we need to be able to manage that. So when our bees are not within 10 blocks of a hive or in range of a beecon or name tagged then they will despawn after ten consecutive minutes.

Also because vanilla bees only come preloaded in generated nests this means there is a finite number of bees that will ever exist excluding breeding. Whereas there is an infinite number of our bees Bc they will always spawn given the criteria to do so has been met.

Ah thanks, so i can place a beehive outside the box to keeps the bees alive to keep breeding?

yes or you can leash them to a fence or name tag them or place the flower(s) they like in the box or put a beecon in range
