Do bees ever change hives?
It can happen if there are a number of hives in the same area. It is a process that beekeepers call drifting. When a worker bee returns from foraging it will normally return to its own hive, but occasionally it may confuse another hive for its own, or for some reason it may not be able to get into its own hive in which case it will look for another hive nearby. As it lands at the hive entrance it will be checked by the guard bees and if the newcomer is carrying nectar or pollen and behaves submissively it will be allowed to enter. Drones (males) seem to have no particular hive loyalty and are allowed entrance to any hive. Drifting is undesirable to a beekeeper because if one hive has contracted a disease it is a process by which the disease could be carried to other hives. Ways of reducing drifting include spacing the hives apart, pointing the entrances in different directions, painting the hives different colours and/or painting different geometric shapes on the front of the hive.

How is a langstroth hive different from other hives?
The Langstroth hive is probably the commonest hive throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It was developed in the mid 1850's by the Reverend Lorenzo Langstroth who recognized the importance of 'bee space' and movable frames. Previously, bees had been kept in straw skeps and had to be driven away at the end of the summer so that the beeeeper could extract the honey harvest. By having movable frames the beekeeper can remove the honey without losing the bees. Most other hives in use today are derived from the same basic principle as the Langstroth hive and a non-beekeper wouldn't know the difference. In the last few years, some new beekeepers have been experimenting with 'frameless' hives again but haven't been particularly successful.
