Not really. Although the queen only mates once in her life -- about a week after emerging from the pupal cell -- it will be with anything up to 20 drones. She then stores the sperm received in an organ called the spermetheca, and these are used throughout her egg laying life.
One is the number of queen bees that reign in a hive. A hive maintained by beekeepers and a nest sustained in the wild may have many males, who are called drones, and many infertile females, who serve as workers. But there never will be more than one queen (under normal circumstances) since an egg that becomes a queen will assume control over the birth hive or nest or go elsewhere to start a separate hive or nest.
The only time a queen bee leaves her hive is when she is still a virgin and then she will make a mating flight, mate with many many drones in flight and then return to the hive. She does not "have to stay in the hive" but nevertheless she does.
In a very general sense, yes, but the queen bee is not a ruler in the sense that a human who is king or queen is a ruler of a country. The Queen is the most important individual in the hive. If she dies and there is no replacement, the hive dies. But the queen bee does not otherwise direct the activities if the hive or its individual members.
yes...they can...but they mostly dont come and lay eggs
The queen is purely an egg laying machine. She does not undertake any other tasks in the hive.
A queen bee is the only egg-laying member in a hive of bees.
She lays eggs to get more workers. :)
The queen bee of a hive does not leave the nest by any means. Without a queen bee, a hive simply cannot exist. If one were to remove the queen bee, it would be a matter of hours before the hive is in complete chaos. In the event the queen bee is about to die, there is already a "lady-in-waiting" to take her place. In simpler terms, the queen cannot be persuaded to leave. It is simply not in their design.
The queen bee became the leader because it is usually the big bugs who gets to be in charge.
A queen bee will leave the hive a couple of days after she emerges from the brood cell in order to mate with several (up to 15) drones. She will then return to the hive and will not leave it again unless with a swarm, looking for a new home.
Only one queen to a hive. If two queens are born at the same time, they will fight until one is dead.
Drones (male bees).
The Queen
There is only 1 queen bee in th hive.
The bee that is the head of a colony of bees is the queen bee. She is usually the mother of all of the bees in the hive and considered the most important.
The Queen Bee. She makes all the honey but the Bee's collect it.
The reason that they have a queen bee is that the queen is the only one that makes the baby bees in the entire bee hive.
The queen bee is normally in the hive producing eggs which later turn into bees. She is also yes in the hive but telling the worker bees what to do.

Because the hive is always at work along with taking care of the queen bee.
The Queen Bee gives birth to all the babies in the hive.
