Beehive despawns

[hickman4]

Its happened twice now. My beehive despawns and leaves no queen bee or wood behind. Kinda aggravating as queen bees are hard to find

Despawns, or gets destroyed? Have you seen it despawn?

Is it possible a mob spawned, wandered over and killed your beehive, then despawned? Just because you're not there doesn't mean mobs aren't trashing your stuff.

Dropped items get cleared every so often, even in singleplayer... so if you haven't been to where your beehives are in a while, then it's entirely possible that it got smashed and then the bits were cleaned up by the "server".

is a workbench nearby?
that will stop the mats from poofing after a built item is destroyed

True enough; I forgot that workbenches not only block spawning within 20 meters, but also block despawning.
