bees and sweet berries

bees attempt to pollinate sweet berry bushes and end up taking damage from them and this causes them to all die off over time as bee nests and hives don't replenish over time

 

bees should really be immune to sweet berry damage because of this, its unlikely something as small as a bee would get hurt by a thorn on a bush anyway

 

or bees should not travel towards sweet berry bushes

    I agree. I would understand if these bushes grew flowers and the bees pollenated them so they could produce the berries but because theres no flower to that bush, and the bees mostly are only attracted to flowers in the game it doesn’t make sense for them to get hurt by the bush.

    Also rose bushes have thorns…. So bees should just be immune to thorns

    It wouldn't be so bad if bees weren't attracted to them, but their pathfinding seems to lead them towards them. In my taiga village, I had three or four beehives next to my crop field, surrounded by 40+ poppies and rose bushes and other flowers that I hoped they'd attempt to pollinate first. Despite this the bees would still sometimes travel to sweet berry bushes many blocks further away along the border of the village - or even in the forest on the other side of my tall fence - and eventually they'd all die. It was really sad and just made it impossible to keep free-roaming bees there at all.
