People who are not professional beekeepers should use caution when in the vicinity of a beehive. Professionals wear protective clothing and use special tools to deal with bees. Without these items, someone near a beehive should take care not to disturb or bother the hive. Honeybees will only sting if provoked, so if left alone they will usually not bother anyone.

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.

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.
