I once destroyed a wasp nest - it was just the tiniest thing, about the size of a walnut, suspended inside the chimney of a hurricane lamp on my patio which had, over the winter, grown green with lichens. I had plunged the thing in a bucket of bleach water and the nest, along with the green scum, dissolved in minutes. I was brandishing a towel in case the wasp attacked me, but when I went to replace the dried chimney on the lamp base, I saw the wasp "dancing" about the post searching for her nest. I watched her cautiously as she flitted up and down around and below the unit before shocking me with a dramatic performance depicting grief at a loss. I watched her literally drape herself over the base in a pose reminiscent of the "Pietà (" and it moved me so profoundly that it haunts me to this day.

Once you have destroyed a hive will they return to the same place to make another one?
It depends on the species. Some bumble bees or wasps may. Honey bees that were away foraging will return to where the hive was, but without the queen they can't survive as a colony for very long. If the queen has survived they may make a new nest.
