It is the nature of honeybees to do what it called "swarming". This is a process where the bees raise a new queen and when she hatches the old queen and about half the population of the hive leave the hive (swarm) and find a new place to live. This is how bees propagate. If they didn't do this there would only be one beehive, the original one! Trying to somehow relate this to the current colony collapse disorder of honey bees is absolute nonsense. Two thumbs DOWN !!! This story was very poorly researched.
