Why bees swarm



Our school drive had a swarm of bee's gathering on the rose bushes, Our teacher decided that we were going to write about (why bee's swarm.


When the queen bee leaves the beehive 60% of the worker bee's follow the queen out, almost working as a shield. They swarm around the queen, and this action is called swarming. These bee's were honey bee's and This occurred at lunch time.The worker bees create queen cups throughout the year. When the hive gets ready to swarm the queen lays eggs into the queen cups.
