A hive is an artificial home provided for honey bees by a beekeeper. Once bees are settled in the hive (or wild colony), they usually stay there and don't move.

Can or cannot bees within one hive comunicate with bees from another?

Bees within one hive can communicate with bees from another hive through scent trails, which they use to signal the location of food sources or new hive locations. This communication enables bees to share information and resources with bees from different hives within the same colony.


What is the locomotion of bees?

Bees primarily use flying as their main mode of locomotion. They have wings that allow them to move quickly and efficiently from one place to another. Bees also use walking to move around on surfaces like flowers, plants, and the hive.


What do you do if you cannot find the hive for bees?

If you can't find the hive for bees and suspect it's on your property, contact a local beekeeper or pest control professional for assistance in locating and safely removing the hive. It's important to not disturb the bees or attempt to remove the hive on your own, as this could be dangerous for both you and the bees.


Do honey bees carry their hives from one place to another?

Honey bees don't usually migrate. Nor do they hibernate, but they won't leave the hive if it is too cold or wet. They only time they will leave a hive as a group is as a swarm, where roughly half of the colony will leave to start a new hive elsewhere. The only time the whole colony will move is if their current hive becomes uninhabitable for some reason, in which case they will move anything from a few metres up to two or three kilometres.


How do bees all fit in one hive?

Bees in a hive have specific roles and a social structure that allows them to work together efficiently. The queen bee lays eggs, worker bees collect food, care for the young, and defend the hive, while male bees mate with the queen. Bees communicate through pheromones and dances to coordinate their behavior and maintain harmony within the hive. Additionally, bees build combs in specific hexagonal shapes to maximize space utilization.

How do you relocate a beehive?

Firstly, do it in the evening when there are no bees out foraging, and block the entrance with sponge and strap the hive sections together.Secondly, there is a saying: 'You must move a bee hive less than three feet, or more than three miles'. This is important because bees learn the location of their hive and usually forage within a three mile radius, although they can go further. If you move a hive more than three feet, foraging bees will return to where the hive was and will not recognize the hive in its new position, so will be lost.If you move a hive further, but still within the bee's old foraging area, they will again try to return to the original hive site.The only solution is to move the hive well out of the original foraging area. The bees will then learn the new location of the hive and a new foraging area and all will be well.There is another part to the saying: '... and don't move them back within three weeks'. This is because the foraging life of a bee is about three weeks, so if you move them back within the original foraging area within that time the older bees will be confused. After three weeks there will be few, if any, bees that knew the original area.
