The hive raises additional queens, and one or two groups of bees leave the hive with a queen to make a new colony.
As beekeepers, we try to manage the hives so that they don’t swarm, but inevitably some still do.
The bees gorge themselves with honey and a large mass of them initially travel a short distance from their source hive and bunch together on a tree, fence post or other such structure. That’s when its easy to collect them and being full of honey are very docile. They then send out scouts as to where to make a permanent nest. Once they find a permanent home, they travel again and start making wax comb with their stored honey to begin a nest.
Often the wasp and bees nests will be in places like building walls, chimneys and the like that are not easy to access. Sadly many times we need to destroy the bees nest rather than save it. We love destroying wasp nests.
