Do bees ever change hives?
Yes, bees may change hives through a process called swarming. Swarming occurs when a group of bees, including the old queen, leaves an existing hive to establish a new colony. This natural behavior helps bees propagate and find new nesting locations.
How is a langstroth hive different from other hives?
The Langstroth hive is probably the commonest hive throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It was developed in the mid 1850's by the Reverend Lorenzo Langstroth who recognized the importance of 'bee space' and movable frames. Previously, bees had been kept in straw skeps and had to be driven away at the end of the summer so that the beeeeper could extract the honey harvest. By having movable frames the beekeeper can remove the honey without losing the bees. Most other hives in use today are derived from the same basic principle as the Langstroth hive and a non-beekeper wouldn't know the difference. In the last few years, some new beekeepers have been experimenting with 'frameless' hives again but haven't been particularly successful.
How do honeybees behave when their hive is overcrowded?
Yes, bee hives do get overcrowded. A hive harbors bees in different life cycle stages, cells, and foods in preparatory and stored stages. It may become too small for its inhabitants and their possessions, in which case drones (male bees) will be ejected with less extreme overpopulation and new hives will be founded under separate queens with more severe overcrowding.
Why do bees leave their hives?
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.
