What will termites do after they swarm? Do they stay, leave or stay and become inactive?

diamond pest control - frequently asked questions : : :
Subterranean termite swarmers are attempting to pair with a swarmer of the opposite sex from another colony. They must locate a suitable habitat to establish a new colony of their own. They need moist soil, preferably in direct contact with wood, in order to survive. The termites that swarm inside a structure and cannot get out will quickly die from lack of available moisture. The termite colony that produced the swarmers will continue to be active after the swarm has taken place. See similar questions...

Swarm: a group of people downloading and uploading files using Peer To Peer technology, of which BitTorrent is one example. With BitTorrent, a swarm is the total number of peers (seeds + leechers).

Why do Honeybees Swarm?

Beeswax Candles & Michigan Honey
When the colony gets too crowded and not enough room inside or perhaps the bees decide that the queen is too old and not laying enough eggs, the honeybee colony will make preparations to swarm. A week or so later about half of the bees will leave the hive with the old queen to look for a new location. The rest of the hive will stay behind, one of the queens will hatch out, kill the other queens and the hive will start to build up again. This is natures way of the colony reproducing itself.
