Difference Between a Swarm, Nest, and Hive

Swarm – A large group of worker bees surrounding and protecting the queen while scout searches for a new nesting site. Swarms cluster on tree branches, bushes, houses, etc temporarily.

Nest – The structure bees build using wax combs to contain their eggs, larvae and food stores. Nests can be exposed or enclosed in cavities.

Hive – An enclosed structure made for housing domesticated bee colonies, usually made by beekeepers. Hives contain removable frames and protections from the elements.
