So.. beehives. I really do love the idea of them, but.. they're EVERYWHERE! 
I'd go for a half spawn rate, or even a fourth. Usually there seems to be 4 or 5 on screen at all times. They're more fair in pre-hardmode, where you can more easily aim your attacks to not break them, but in hardmode we acquire crazier projectile weapons which almost guarantees to drop them, and with bees so small and hard to detect when not expecting a hive to fall, you're just constantly being pelt around for 1 damage. A lower spawn rate would help tremendously, even if it meant bumping the damage up some. I don't wanna be a pin cushion anymore!
And how about a way to obtain them, maybe they should have a chance to drop as an item, or crafted out of hive block? So we can place them around for decoration or traps. Wire signals should be able to drop them too, of course.
I ask this as no other trap spawns at this rate, and forever ongoing. Please, save the bees, and reduce the spawn rate!
