A foraging bee will always return to its home hive. Any bee trying to enter the wrong hive will be challenged by the guard bees at the entrance and will generally be repelled, though a single bee who exhibits submissive behaviour to the guard bees may be accepted.

This behaviour by the guard bees is to prevent the hive's food stocks being robbed by other colonies.
