Do bees after flying around during the day always go home to a hive?

Yes they return even upon the event of an incoming storm. Bee's are able to navigate to specific flowers relayed from other bee's in the form of a dance. They use this navigation in relation to the location of the sun in the sky. They use this same manner to return to the hive. They are also able to tell the change in sun location in regards to time. They know that every 4 minutes they will have to change their course by 1 degree in relation to the sun.Do bees after flying around during the day always go home to a hive?
I am not entirely sure but I think most bees attempt to do so. As you can imagine they are not always successful...hence this question has two answers.Do bees after flying around during the day always go home to a hive?
Yes. Unless they die.
