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 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.
