Yes they can. Iactually just saw one the other day.
a magnet next to a bee hive, causes bees to build the hive in a spiral formation.
When the old hive gets to crowded
They build the hive and also look after pupae(baby bees).
Bees tend to burrow 2 to 3 inches into the ground when they are trying to build a hive. Depending on the size of the hive will determine just how far down the bees' hive will be located in the ground.
Bees are kept in a bee hive (or just hive). For very small colonies that are building up they may be kept in a miniature hive called a 'nuc' (short for nucleus).
Under normal circumstances, there will only be one queen in a hive,
Bees do not move a natural hive. They build their hive in a specific location and use it as their permanent home. Swarming is a natural process where a new queen and a portion of the colony leave the hive to establish a new one.
They go to honey heaven! Sick bee's work 'til they fall out of the sky, or can no longer fly due to tattered and worn wings. If they make it back to the hive, they are booted (dragged) out by healthy bees, and die.
female bees make honey and do other things in the hive Answer: With the exception of a few male (drones) in the hive all bees in a hive are female. They do all the work. The only task the males have is to mate with the new queens if the hive swarms or if the present queen dies
By stinging anyone or anything that they see as being a threat to the hive.
The bees will swarm and leave the hive and look for another source to sustain their colony and build another hive.
they have shelter from predators, they make honey for their food, and they keep their pupa larva in the hive.
