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.

How do you make a queen bee leave the nest?

The queen bee of a hive does not leave the nest by any means. Without a queen bee, a hive simply cannot exist. If one were to remove the queen bee, it would be a matter of hours before the hive is in complete chaos. In the event the queen bee is about to die, there is already a "lady-in-waiting" to take her place. In simpler terms, the queen cannot be persuaded to leave. It is simply not in their design.


Does a queen bee ever go out of the hive?

A queen bee will leave the hive a couple of days after she emerges from the brood cell in order to mate with several (up to 15) drones. She will then return to the hive and will not leave it again unless with a swarm, looking for a new home.


Does a queen bee ever leave the colony?

Yes, a queen bee can leave the colony, primarily during the mating process. After emerging from her cell, she typically takes a mating flight to mate with drones before returning to the hive. Additionally, a queen may leave the colony during swarming, a process where a portion of the hive leaves to establish a new colony. However, she generally remains in the hive for most of her life.

How do bees decide on a queen?

There can only be one queen in a hive. If a hive becomes too crowded, the workers will prepare several queen brood cells and the queen will lay an egg in each. The workers will cover the egg with royal jelly -- this is what makes the difference between the larva developing into a queen rather than a worker. After this, the queen and roughly half of the workers will leave the hive and look for somewhere else to form a hive. This is a swarm. Eventually one of the queen cells will break open and a new queen will emerge. The first thing she will do is search out the other queen cells and sting them to kill the other developing queens. If two queens should emerge at the same time, they will fight until one is dead. A few days later, the new queen will leave the hive on a mating flight, followed by the drones. After mating she will return to the hive and not leave it again unless with another swarm.


How can you naturally requeen a hive?

To naturally requeen a hive, you can introduce a new queen bee by allowing the hive to raise a new queen from their own eggs or by introducing a queen cell from another hive. This process allows the hive to replace their old queen with a new one without human intervention.

Why do bees leave their hives?

Bees leave their hives for several reasons, such as foraging for food, scouting for new potential hive locations, or to collect water.
