Honey bees (Apis mellifera) swarm in an apple tree in urban yard in Portland, Oregon A new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees, a process called swarming. A swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees. Swarming is the natural means of reproduction of honey bee colonies. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com
