This is basically how I see it.

Bebop is a fast-paced and eccentric form of jazz, hard bop brings blues influence and makes it heavier, and post-bop is, as Yudkion can put it best, “an approach that incorporated modal and chordal harmonies, flexible form, structured choruses, melodic variation, and free improvisation. It was freedom anchored in form. We can call it post-bop.”

Basically, it took the heavy improvisation of bebop and simplified it, made it a little more melodic, cool and smooth. Post-Bop's befinitely my favorite of the three.
