Bedrock only renders two beehive/bee nest states (empty and full), so the intermediate honey stages a resource pack would need to show do not exist as addressable texture slots.

How it would work on Bedrock. In Mojang/bedrock-samples, textures/terrain_texture.json defines bee_nest_front and beehive_front as two-entry arrays - [textures/blocks/bee_nest_front, textures/blocks/bee_nest_front_honey] and [textures/blocks/beehive_front, textures/blocks/beehive_front_honey]. The engine selects index 0 or 1 (not-full vs. full); there is no slot keyed to honey_level 1-4, and blocks.json offers no block-state condition for a vanilla block (only sound, textures, carried_textures, isotropic). Extra array entries would never be selected, so the five-stage readout the Java pack provides cannot be produced.

Caveats. The two existing states can still be retextured - e.g. making the 'full' front face read more clearly - but that is a different, much weaker pack than the Java one.
