Bees will not breed or follow flowers

The bees will not breed in my survival world. I have a small be farm filled to the brim with flowers so I don’t know if this is interfering with them breeding. The bees also won’t follow me when I have a flower in hand, I also use this in my farm. I’m not 100% sure if it’s the other flowers that interfering with this process but it still makes it very hard to get a good honeycomb/honey farm going.
