ELI5: How are bees attracted to a beekeeper's artificial hive? Do they find the space accidentally? Or do you use something to attract them?
gpt
Bee hives are generally started by purchasing or otherwise obtaining a queen bee and then splitting a hive, with some portion of the bees now serving the new queen and her hive. This simulates the natural process of a hive reaching a critical size where new queens will develop wings, a swarm of bees travels some distance, and finally settles in a new location.

Beekeepers don't just construct hives and put them out in a field hoping that bees will just magically appear. That would be like a cattle farmer fencing off a pasture and crossing their fingers that cows showed up.
