What are scout bees before they swarm?
Could you elaborate on the behavioral patterns and characteristics of scout bees prior to a swarming event? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how they differ from their regular roles within the hive and what signs they exhibit that indicate an imminent swarm? Are there any specific behaviors, such as increased flying activity or scouting out potential new nest sites, that are indicative of an imminent swarm? Furthermore, how do these scout bees communicate with the rest of the colony to coordinate the swarming process?
