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.

Queen bees are not rare within a colony, as every hive contains one queen responsible for laying eggs and leading the colony. However, finding a queen bee outside of a hive in the wild may be considered rare due to their specific role and location within the colony.


What is a male bee called whose sole function is to mate with the queen?

A male bee whose sole function is to mate with the queen is called a drone. Drones do not gather food or participate in nest-building activities; their primary role is to mate with a virgin queen bee. Once they have fulfilled this purpose, they typically die shortly after mating.


If you kill all the bees on a nest but one what happens to that bee?

If you kill all the bees in a nest except for one, that remaining bee will likely die due to the inability to sustain the hive on its own. Bees rely on cooperation and teamwork within the colony for survival, and a single bee would not be able to maintain the nest or gather enough resources to survive.


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.


Why do drones die after mating with the queen bee?

i think it dies It does die. The male bee (drone) actually deposits its genitalia inside the queen bee in a semi-explosive transfer that can be heard as an audible popping. Such a vivsections commits the Drone to a rather painful suffering and eventual death.
