Now the queen's dead what will the bees do?

In a centuries old tradition the Bee Keeper wraps a black ribbon around the hives, knocks on the hive and informs the bees that the Queen has died, but not to worry as they have a new owner and that they should carry on.

Here's a link www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...g-Charles-new-boss.html (yes I know it's the mail but you can find the story elsewhere)

The actual words spoken are "You knock on each hive and say, ‘The mistress is dead, but don't you go. Your master will be a good master to you"

So question is will the bees stay or go?
They'll stay
They'll buzz off
