it took me quite a while to get the bee hive recipe. He does eventually give them to you. But I didnt have the issue with them disappearing either so I dont know.

Yes you have to sleep and dream. After the bee dream Grandpa will give you a recipe for the first hive. There is another hive for forest bees after you do a certain quest for the trader.

I have the recipe for the first hive. For the "Wild Bee Honey" quest it takes me back to the forest where the Forest Bee's are.

I actually collected them early game prior to getting that quest, and when I put them into the early game hive they turned into normal bees! Now that I got the actual quest, there's no new bee to be caught in that area.

I even tried placing a bee hive where the circle for the quest indicated and collecting honey that way but it's not working.

Nevermind, I just had to walk up to the tree and hit "collect"

Ok, so lol
i did finally have the bee dream and it still never gave me the hive thing. but eventually grandpa finally had the dialogue for it. luckily i had enough bees for one hive.
i also did not put the hive in the right area but it worked and completed just fine.

I put the hive in the 2nd garden plot area over by the fence, that goes out to the merchants cart. Then planted a bunch of different flowers around it in a pattern type design. i seem to get honey just fine. ik it produces bees over time so i collect the extra bees. just got to remember to leave at least 50 or so in the hive.

Also it would be kind of cool if different flowers made the m produce different types of honey
