When the queen bee dies one of the worker bees feeds a larvae some royal jelly and the larvae becomes the queen
When the old hive gets to crowded
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.
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.
Queen bees rule the hive.
There is only 1 queen bee in th hive.
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.
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
They don't. Queen bees don't normally leave the hive, and there is only one in each hive.
Under normal circumstances, there will only be one queen in a hive,
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.
In a hive, there can be multiple queen bees present, but usually only one queen bee will dominate and lay eggs.
