Does the queen of the honeybees ever leave her nest?

Question

Does she ever leave the nest?

And another thing: If the nest is located in a dangerous place for the bees, is it possible to move it to a safer place?

Answer 1

Sometimes a queen will lay a queen egg, and when the new queen matures one of them will leave to establish a new hive, followed by a swarm of workers.  Other times a queen will simply abandon a hive and establish a new one, followed by all the workers.

Commercial beekeepers move hives regularly, but the hives are custom built for this.  One might be able to move a "wild" hive, but you would need to be amply protected from all the workers who perceive the hive to be under attack.  The queen may well abandon the hive if moved.

Answer 2

queen bee can leave the nest in some extreme cases
