Assuming that is the case, the answer is simply “no.” Like any other insect, a bee is a complex organism with many cells differentiated into various tissue types, each of which do different things. For the best description of the honey bee as a superorganism, see The Buzz about Bees by Jürgen Tautz (2008).

Bees carry a diverse assemblage of bacteria, very few of which appear to be pathogenic. Here we explore the inhibitory effects of these resident bacteria against the primary bacterial pathogen of honey bees, Paenibacillus larvae.

When a colony gets big enough, it splits in two and the queen bee flies off, usually taking a third to a half of the colony with her, in search of a new home. Swarms rarely stay in one place for more than a day or so, says Seeley, so chances are the bees will take off on their own if left alone.

What time are bees out the most?
