Why do bees swam

Today a swam of bees came into our school and made a hive
Our teacher asked us why bees swam.

When queen bees are born they fight and kill each other to be the winner.
Bees swam when two queens bees fight and one escapes and since each queen bee has a special scent of smell 60% of working bees follow.
These bees now need a new place to live, the bees follow the queen and wherever the queen bee lands the rest of the swam will as-well. Sometimes a queen bee may land on a house or car and the rest of the swam will follow and protect the queen. When the bees land they may stay there for many day but usually the queen will move on or some bee keepers will come and collect them.
