I posted a video of one last year including the mated queen returning. Bees came out and swarmed into a nearby tree for ten minutes then returned to the front of the hive vigorously fanning. Five minutes later the queen arrived back.
Been stuck with your expression of "hens teeth" for a while. Understand it to mean "very rare" to "almost never." But that seems to imply "[in England] roosters got teeth," right? Albeit hens don't. I get that.
No birds have teeth, even roosters!
