I emailed Jean Paul Gaultier to ask if their cosmetics are vegan, and found out that bees are not animals and that they're appropriate for vegetarians.

What? No, never heard of that. Its probably illigal in most places as well.
Also the queen isn't really necessary to start a new hive, a queen egg is laid by a worker bee.
The worker bees could and do carry the queen from time to time as well.
According to a quick Google search, it's absolutely common practice by beekeepers specifically to prevent queens leaving. Check the beekeeping tab on this wiki page.
Did you read the other methods, wich i know are more common at least in Europe.
Ok, sure. You do realize all these are methods to prevent the bees from leaving, which undermines your original point, right?
My point was never that they just leave, my point was that they don't need to leave and aren't supposed to, but besides that they live completely natural. And they still can leave when they feel like its better for the hive, the other methods don't physically hinder them to do that, they just don't need to do it, the only thing they can't do natural is changing the hive, wich in nature they do to prevent pests from accumulating, but thats the beekeepers job for honeybees.
