If the queen dies suddenly, the workers will select one or more recently-laid eggs or very young larvae and feed them with royal jelly (a secretion of the workers' hyperpharyingeal glands) and build queen cells around them. These larvae then develop into new queens.
When the first one emerges from her pupal cell she will seek out the other queen cells and sting through them to kill the other queens. A few days later she will go out on her mating flight, and on her return she will start egg laying for the colony.

When queen bees dies what happens to other bees in the hive?

What do the bees do with the dead body of queen bee?

Honey bees generally remove all dead bodies from their hive and that would include a deceased queen bee. I have in the past found a dead queen on the ground outside the entrance to a hive. (The reason I could identify it as a queen was that it was colour marked to help find it - many beekeepers mark their queens thus.)


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.


Where does a queen bee live?

A queen bee typically lives in the hive along with worker bees. She can be found in the central area of the hive known as the brood chamber where she lays eggs. The queen is the largest bee in the colony and plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of the hive.
