Why did the bees kill their queen?
Bees kill their queen because their queen might be to old or the queen might have a diesease
Can bees survive without a queen?
If a queen dies, then the worker bees will feed royal jelly to some of the larvae and they will turn into queen bees. The first one out will kill all the others, so there will only be one Queen Bee in the hive. This is still a dead end until the queen finds a drone, mates and gets down into the business of egg laying.
Do queen bees mate outside the hive?
yeah they mate and generally they fight for their mates
Are bees sexual creatures?

How do bees pick their queen?
They don't, actually. When a queen lays her eggs, there are some which are specifically queen eggs. These bees are stronger than other ones and, once they hatch, they will kill the other potential queens. The last survivor becomes the queen.
What type of bee mates with the queen?
the queen leaves the hive ONCE to mate. she can fly up to a mile to find a drone (male honey bee). when they meet she does a dance and the drone injects her with sperm. once the process is complete she flies away leaving the dead drone carcass.
Does the queen bee kill the boys?
No. The drones (male bees) are ejected from the colony at the end of the breeding season by the worker bees (infertile females).
