Actually it is the old queen that goes with a swarm, leaving developing queen larvae and young house bees (workers) in the old hive to start a new colony.
When the old hive gets to crowded
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
Yes, queen bees leave the hive for mating flights where they mate with several drones before returning to the hive. They can also leave the hive temporarily during swarming, a natural reproduction process where a new queen and part of the colony leave to form a new hive.
When the queen bee dies one of the worker bees feeds a larvae some royal jelly and the larvae becomes the queen
drones: mate with the queens. queen: mate with the drones make new bees. worker: they build , clean , protect hive , care for young and groom queen.
All bees in a hive are female. The workers are sterile females. The only time there are males is in the spring when there is a new queen to be serviced.There are usually more than 1 million bees in a hive.
You can't if there is brood there. You would have to trap her in a queen cage and put her in the new hive, then transfer as many of the other bees as possible. If the new hive is kept very close to the old site the remaining bees should go to the new hive by themselves within a few hours.
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.
A beekeeper will try to remove a wild hive (from a tree, or a hole in the ground) by moving the brood (the bee eggs and larvae) and the queen bee into a portable box hive. Foraging bees will return to the box if it is left beside the old hive, and so long as the queen was moved into the new hive. After nightfall, when all the bees have returned, the hive can be sealed up and taken away. Of course, the position of the wild hive will determine the difficulty of the whole operation. I had a swarm set up their home inside the double brick wall of my house. A beekeeper set up a new hive outside with a new queen, and an inverted funnel on my wall. The funnel allowed the bees to come out of the wall, but they were unable to find their way back in, so they went into the new hive and adopted the new queen. Eventually (some weeks), all the bees emerged from my wall and into the new hive. The old queen probably did not survive, as there were no bees returning with nectar to make new honey.
The above is WRONG, worker bees are the sterile female bees that do do all the work. The bees that do no work in the hive are the male "drone" bees that the hive produces each summer. They have one function only, to mate with new queen bees.
When a queen bee dies, the other bees in the hive will typically create a new queen. They will select a young larva and begin feeding it royal jelly to develop it into a queen. This process ensures that the hive can continue functioning and producing new bees.
Bees leave their hives for several reasons, such as foraging for food, scouting for new potential hive locations, or to collect water. Worker bees also leave the hive to perform tasks like collecting nectar, pollen, or propolis. On rare occasions, bees may also swarm and leave the hive to establish a new colony.
