Yes to find a new place to build a hive when the old one is no longer viable.
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.
Bees leave their hives for several reasons, such as foraging for food, scouting for new potential hive locations, or to collect water. Worker bees also leave the hive to perform tasks like collecting nectar, pollen, or propolis. On rare occasions, bees may also swarm and leave the hive to establish a new colony.
Drones (male bees).

Yes, in the winter when it is too cold for them to leave their hive.
They don't. Queen bees don't normally leave the hive, and there is only one in each hive.

Queen bees rule the hive.
There is only 1 queen bee in th 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.
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.
In a hive, there can be multiple queen bees present, but usually only one queen bee will dominate and lay eggs.
The queen bee is normally in the hive producing eggs which later turn into bees. She is also yes in the hive but telling the worker bees what to do.
