With all the hot weather the bees decide to swarm. This is how bees naturally reproduce in the wild. In spring the hive builds up so big in size that it has enough bees to split itself in half. The bees make replacement queen cells. Once those cells are capped, about half the bees leave with the old queen to find a new home. The hive is left with the rest of the bees and the queen cells, and a new queen hatches a few days later.
