Why do bees swarm?
When a coloney is formed there can be up to 10,000 - 20,000 workers. When bees make a beehive they have one Queen Bee. This queen bee is a honey bee. When the hive gets too big the bees none of the bees have access to the queen anymore so that means they aren't receieving her signals so they don't know what to do. When that happens the bees that don't have access to her move away and fiind a knew queen and create another beehive.
