When the worker bees realize they can’t smell the queen’s pheromones anymore, they feed a larva royal jelly so it grows into a new queen.

That's what happens if there are larvae young enough (less than 3 days). If there aren't, some workers will begin to lay their own eggs, which will be infertile and only give rise to males, and the colony will gradually die out. 

That is, unless the beekeeper intervenes. First he needs to get rid of the egg-laying workers. So since egg-laying workers are too fat to fly, usually the beekeeper takes the whole swarm and dumps it a few meters away from the hive. Regular workers will fly back, egg layers won't be able to return. Once the egg-laying workers have been eliminated, a new queen can be gradually introduced. 

[I'm not a beekeeper but my uncle is, and he's done this procedure a couple of times]
