    My understanding is that the queen bee is generally restricted from leaving the hive by a physical gate. The workers won’t leave without her.

      Only when being transported into a hive. Other than the honey super, the queen is given full run of the hive in order to lay new brood. The physical gate is to keep larger things out.
