See amount of bees in a nest/hive

I think we should be able to see the number of bees in a nest/hive using the f3 screen. Right now all you can do to check is breed them up and wait for night to see if any of the bees are left.

    and how many liv in the nest/hive. it's impossible to do anything big with bee right now, because you cant see how many are actually in a nest/hive.

    I’m pretty sure you can do that with /data

    For balancing and to make sense ingame, you could make it so you can only see the count of bees within a Bee hive (player-made) and not a Bee nest (natural gen). Most Bee hives in real life have sections you can pull out and view. You could also make the bees react if they do not have fire beneath the hive.

    Alternatively, the number of bees in a hive or nest item in an inventory could show up in that item's tooltip.

    Could also change something about the beehive to show it is occupied (like 1 bee causes a line to appear around the beehive, 2 bees has 2 lines, etc). Maybe something that shows that the beehive is holding more weight so it looks more strained.

    Look at the beehive, hit F3 + i, then copy the data into a text editor on the side. There you can see how many bees are in there. Just search for "Age:0" and the amount of times that occurs in the text doc is the amount of bees in that nest, and if there is no extra entity data the nest is empty

    There should be a new block for it.
