Question

define absconding in honeybee ​

Answer 1

Why do honey bees abscond in the fall? Absconding is the term used when a colony of honey bees leaves its home in search of another. It is not the same as swarming. When a colony swarms, it splits in two parts: one part stays in the old home and one part finds a new home. Swarming is a form of reproduction.

Answer 2

Absconding may be defined as the complete abandonment of the nest by the whole colony. It differs from swarming in that the nest does not divide into two or more parts but the whole colony moves and presumably seeks and finds a new nest site elsewhere. Beekeepers in many places benefit from this planned absconding (or migration) to fill their empty bee hives.
The tendency to abscond is mainly determined by climate and the effects of climatic change on flowering and nectar flow.
