Unable to make Mad Scientist Bee

[Talvega]

After spending 3+ hours of trying every possible way to make the "Mad Scientist Bee" I realized that it's impossible on the server. Making the bee in single player mode works perfectly fine. Something is preventing the bee from seeing the explosion ( Yes I tried this on every dimension and with the explosions turned on in my claim ) All I am requesting is perhaps making the bee available to buy at spawn or fixing this bug that won't allow it to be made. 

 

Thank you,
