Why Do Bees Swarm?
Why Do Bees Swarm? A honeybee colony will swarm as a way to reproduce. If you think back to high school biology and remember that single-cell organisms reproduce by splitting in half and becoming two distinct organisms, then think of a colony of honeybees in the same way. The colony prepares for a new queen, and just before she hatches, the old queen and half the bees leave to find another place to live.
