      Honeybees can happen they change their nest normally once a year. It works in this way.
      When a hive it is to crowded with bees, they start to rais a new queen bee, whilst the older queen bees fly away with half of the bees of the nest to restart a new colony. This is called “Swarming”
      The remaining half of the bees stay in the same colony to rais and welcome the new queen, which will become the queen of that colony.

      Normally honeybee swarm only once a year
