I am just saying you need to consider cover not just above but to the side as well. The cone is probably very steep, but still being too close to a high vertical wall might seem clear but still be considered "covered".

I think, from experience, it has to do with things above more than most. I have had similar bee hives similar to my pic below, but the trees they were around made them unhappy. I had to push the entry away from the trees and any nearby stone.. but that was in a build I lost.

Well yes "the most" and that angle is pretty shallow, not steep at all.

OPs issue seemed to be resolved when he moved them away from a very tall wall. I was just explaining why that might be.

I think I figured it out. The area i had them in had really high walls. I moved them to another area with low walls and now all 3 are fine. Thanks for all the input.
