hived
Entered the colony
Hived is the past tense of hive, meaning to gather into or store in a hive, as bees do with honey.
By extension, to hive something is to collect or accumulate it in one place: They hived away provisions for winter.
To hive off is to separate from a larger group, often describing when a division splits from a parent company or organization.
